The Bolton Stretch |
He cracks a wicked smile and his foot pressed to the floor |
Flyin' down country roads that he’s been down before |
One of just three men that the sheriff cannot catch |
And he’s travelin' 90 miles an hour down the Bolton Stretch |
The first time we had seen his face was back in '84 |
Walked right into old O’Hares, he robbed that liquor store |
The Sheriff tried to catch him but the man he got away |
And he didn’t show his face in town again until today |
Didn’t come for justice, didn’t come to make amends |
Doesn’t ask forgiveness, he’s not looking to make friends |
Just that he was passing through with money wearin' thin |
Now he’s travelin' down the Bolton Stretch again |
He watches as the trees fly by, but doesn’t seem to care |
Knows it’s time to leave again, but doesn’t know to where |
Though he stole a lot of money, it’s not enough for bail |
And there are two blue lights behind him now, the Sheriff’s on his trail |
Since the day that he was born he spent his whole live livin' free |
With nothing but the loosest ties to friends and family |
No punishment will make him care about the things he’s done |
And if he lives another 20 years he’ll live 'em on the run |
