Don't Be Afraid to Run |
Down in the holler there’s a thriving town |
A treasure trove that makes the world go 'round, |
When the city barons bring their legal papers and guns, |
Oh darlin', don’t be afraid to run |
When we came to settle here we came to stay, |
Maybe raise a family, earn a decent wage, |
Now every public servant reeks of suspicion, |
So darlin' don’t be afraid to run |
Darlin' don’t be afraid to run, |
And don’t turn your back on the noonday sun, |
Someday redemption will wash everyone, |
But there’s no telling when that day will come |
So darlin' don’t be afraid to run |
Maybe we’ll rendezvous out in nowheresville, |
Or maybe we’ll find each other runnin' still |
Until we reach that auspicious liaison |
Darlin' don’t be afraid to run |
Darlin' don’t be afraid to run, |
And don’t turn your back on the noonday sun, |
The people will greet you with derision, |
You’ll never be their model citizen |
So darlin' don’t be afraid to run |
