The Como Brothers - Living on the Run Lyrics

Living on the Ru-uh-uh-uh-un, oh

Johnny played electric guitar
He moved up the coast and down to LA
Northern California was warm
And the girls were always looking his way
He was on the run, he was dodging the beat
They said he had a gun, he was out on the street
And when they found him he knew just what he'd say

He'd say I shot her, but I had a reason
He'd say I shot her, but there's more that you should know
He'd say I shot her, but she had me bleeding
She almost shot me with my back against the wall
After all this time I realize it's something I can't prove
That's why I hid where I hid, fell off the grid
And did what I've done
That's why I'm Living on the Run

Johnny flew all over the globe
Up to Chi Town Illinois, USA
Moonwalked down to Boca Raton
Stopped in Georgia while he was on the way
He was on the move, he was quick on his feet
They were closing in, Johnny knew he was beat
And when they found him he knew just what he'd say

He'd say I shot her, but I had a reason
He'd say I shot her, but there's more that you should know
He'd say I shot her, but she had me bleeding
She almost shot me with my back against the wall
After all this time I realize it's something I can't prove
That's why I hid where I hid, fell off the grid
And did what I've done
That's why I'm Living on the Run

And maybe she never would've shot me down, oh no
Did she put her finger on the trigger?
Was she bluffing so that I would turn around?
But I've never seen that look in her eyes
Don't you see it too? I did what I had to do

He'd say I shot her, but I had a reason
He'd say I shot her, but there's more that you should know
He'd say I shot her, but she had me bleeding
She almost shot me with my back against the wall
After all this time I realize it's something I can't prove
That's why I hid where I hid, fell off the grid
And did what I've done
That's why I'm Living on the Run
