A man was killed on the outside of town
Broken glass and a gunfire sound
And when it happened I was around
I can't get no relief (Can't get no)
Call went out saying I was the one
But that sheriff doesn't know what he's done
Flashing lights across the river at dawn
Are they coming for me (Can't get no)
I'm on the run for another night
I can't get no relief
Telling myself I can save my life
And I want to believe
And I want to believe
Screeching tires and a slamming door
Photographs and clothes on the floor
Took what I could carry nothing more
I can't get no relief (Can't get no)
I drove off and left it all behind
Cause the law finds what it wants to find
A life was taken and it's ending mine
Are they coming for me (Can't get no)
I'm on the run for another night
I can't get no relief
Telling myself I can save my life
And I want to believe
And I want to believe
Now I'm speeding toward the setting sun
Won't be stopping til the state line comes
I think I lost this race before it begun
I can't get no relief (Can't get no)
I'll tell the sheriff there's no criminals here
It's just me and all of my fears
And a gun that says he ain't coming near
Are they coming for me (Cn't get no)
