On The Run
Man on the Run: Battling Consequences
Lyrics
I got drunk that night before work
I consumed alcohol the night before going to work
Knew I shouldn't but one more won't hurt
Despite knowing I shouldn't, I decided to have one more drink
Before I knew it
Before I realized it
I was in that dirt
I found myself in a difficult or dangerous situation
Door wide open blood on my shirt
The door was wide open, and there was blood on my shirt
Cause I'm a man on the run
Because I am a man who is fleeing or evading something
I can't change what I've done
I cannot undo the actions I have taken
Public enemy number one
I am perceived as a significant threat or criminal
Cause I'm an outlaw
Because I live outside the law
On the run
Continuing the theme of being an outlaw on the run
Bloodhounds on my scent they got me found
Bloodhounds are tracking my scent, indicating pursuit
They don't know where I'm bound
Those chasing me are unaware of my destination
My daddy taught me
My father taught me survival skills
How to survive
I possess the knowledge to endure difficult situations
They won't catch me while I'm alive
They won't capture me while I'm still alive
Cause I'm a man on the run
Reiteration of being a fugitive
I can't change what I've done
Emphasizing the inability to change past actions
Public enemy number one
Continued portrayal as a major threat to society
Cause I'm an outlaw
Reiteration of living outside the boundaries of the law
On the run
Reaffirmation of being on the run
If they catch me it's eight to ten
If captured, facing a sentence of eight to ten years
Ain't no way I'm going back again
Determined not to return to a previous state or situation
Cause I'm a man on the run
Reiteration of being a fugitive
I can't change what I've done
Highlighting the inability to undo past deeds
Public enemy number one
Reaffirming the perception of being a significant threat
Cause I'm an outlaw
Restating the lifestyle of living outside the law
On the run
Reiteration of being on the run
