Run Man Run

Song from the original Western Musical, "A Handful Of Dust".

Music/Lyrics: Mary Jane.

Performed By: Mary Jane

Now I fear my faith might fail
Lord, give me strength for this story I'm tryin to tell
He was a restless gun roamin' far from the flock
He was a midnight stallion always breakin' hearts
He rode deep in the valley of darkness
And met his match

In the dead of night on the desert sands
A stranger came close and took his hands
He said, "I know what you did, boy, you can't run,
And your life is mine forever"

What do you do when the law is comin' for you?
Run man run, you better run man run
What do you do when the law is comin' for you?
Run man run, you gotta run man run

Nor silver nor gold can save your poor soul
Nor silver nor gold can save your poor soul

What do you do when the law is comin' for you?
Run man run, you better run man run
What do you do when the law is comin' for you?
Run man run, you gotta run man run
