The state patrol print a wanted poster
of a dangerous man they just can't get close to
I escaped the chains of the prison governor
as the guards stood in wonder
Running miles just so wild from their rifles with a smile
Running miles through the wild from their fire with a smile
As cunning as they come, I quickly shed my skin
Beg, steal or borrow I just do it with a grin
Running miles just so wild from their rifles with a smile
Running miles through the wild from their fire with a smile
I’m escaping, I’m escaping
while the gallows await, I make my escape
On the devil‘s bail some say I’m bound to suffer
Still the wanted man who they can't get close ta
Running miles just so wild from their rifles with a smile
Running miles through the wild from their fire with a smile
I’m escaping, I’m escaping
I don‘t mind where
I’m escaping, I’m escaping
the gallows await, I make my escape
