Run Away High Songtext
von Sam Barber

Every night′s another bar and a bottle in my hand
These cheap cigars, they burn my lungs, but I don't give a damn
All the sins I′ve made and the time I ought to be dead by now
I'm driving down this road, just keep on heading South

'Cause I′m coming down off a runaway high
These cops are on my tail, but I don′t really mind
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye
So, what′s one more sin before I reach the Baton bayou?


She met her a good old man down in the sticks
He was lookin' sharp as a knife, hell, he′s probably 36
Well, he crossed my path, so I pull out my old six shot
Then I put a piece of lead right through his heart

'Cause I′m coming down off a runaway high
These cops are on my tail, but I don't really mind
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye
So, what′s one more sin before I reach the Baton bayou?

An′ I'm coming down off a runaway high
These cops are on my tail, but I don′t really mind
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye
So, what′s one more sin before I reach the Baton bayou?
