Dead´s man kinfolk tracking me down
Judge and the jury waiting in the town
Footprints on the river bank
Cover up my trail
Ain't no way I'm gonna spend another night in jail
Runnin' from the hounds

Flash lights, flash floods
Never will be found
Hiding in the marshes
Runnin' from the hounds

Just like a shootout from the wild, wild west
Bullets fly right by, I can't stop to rest
Running from the pouring rain
Breathing hard and fast
Must be catching up to me
I head a shotgun blast
Runnin' from the hounds

Flash lights, flash floods
Never will be found
Hiding in the marshes
Runnin' from the hounds
Runnin' from the hounds

Juke joint justice, Louisiana law
Swamp land, understand
I can't take no more
Sheriff on the radio
Calling to his boys
Heading for the interstate
Hear the city noise
Runnin' from the hounds

Flash lights, flash floods
Never will be found
Hiding in the marshes
Runnin' from the hounds
Runnin' from the hounds

Dead´s man kinfolk tracking me down
Judge and the jury waiting in the town
Footprints on the river bank
Cover up my trail
Ain't no way I'm gonna spend another night in jail
Runnin' from the hounds

Flash lights, flash floods
Never will be found
Hiding in the marshes
Runnin' from the hounds

Runnin' from the hounds
Runnin' from the hounds
Runnin' from the hounds
Runnin' from the hounds
Runnin' from the hounds
Runnin' from the hounds
