Run Like the Devil

[Verse 1]
The sun's droppin' low, red as blood on the ridge,
A shadow cuts the canyon like a knife through the bridge.
Boots hittin' dirt, every step a thunderclap,
I ain't lookin' back, no, I can't fall in their trap.

[Chorus]
Run like the devil's on my tail,
Wind in my face, the law on my trail.
Every breath burns, every heartbeat's a fight,
Run like the devil through the fire of the night.

[Verse 2]
Coyotes howl, and the stars start to fade,
This desert ain't no friend, just a gambler's charade.
The pistol's still warm, smoke hangs in the air,
I made my last stand, now I'm runnin' on a dare.

[Prechorus]
Each step a gamble, each heartbeat a cost,
The faster I run, the less I feel lost.

[Chorus]
Run like the devil's on my tail,
Wind in my face, the law on my trail.
Every breath burns, every heartbeat's a fight,
Run like the devil through the fire of the night.

[Bridge]
I hear 'em comin', their horses pound the ground,
The sky splits open with a bullet's sound.
A man ain't born free, he's gotta take the chains,
Break 'em to pieces, and ride through the flames.
