Intro

(into the smoke)

(running cold)

Verse 1

Midnight boots on the gravel

Headlights cutting through the dust

They got my name on a whisper

Turning every friend to mistrust

I traded secrets for freedom

Now the walls are closing in

Every shadow's got a purpose

Every stranger knows my sin

Pre-Chorus

Can't look back

Can't look back (no no)

Footprints burning down the track

Chorus

They're hunting the man who talked

The man who broke the code

Chasing through the backroads

Carrying a heavy load

Hunting the man who talked

While the sirens ebb and flow

Every border's a bullet

Every turn's a final blow

Post-Chorus

Run run run

Run run run

(run boy run)

Verse 2

Accordion moans in the cantina

Trumpets cry their bitter tune

They made me sign in dry ink

Underneath a broken moon

My hand was on the ledger

My tongue was on the fire

Now the cartel sings a ballad

Calling out my name in choir

Pre-Chorus

Can't look back

Can't look back (no no)

Copper dust down every track

Chorus

They're hunting the man who talked

The man who broke the code

Chasing through the backroads

Carrying a heavy load

Hunting the man who talked

While the sirens ebb and flow

Every border's a bullet

Every turn's a final blow

Bridge

Somewhere past the mesa

Where the radio goes dead

I'll be just another stranger

With the pavement in my head

Praying that forgiveness

Finds me faster than the fear

Before the desert swallows

Every word I ever said

Chorus

They're hunting the man who talked

The man who broke the code

Chasing through the backroads

Carrying a heavy load

Hunting the man who talked

While the sirens ebb and flow

Every border's a bullet

Every turn's a final blow

Post-Chorus

Run run run

Run run run

(run boy run)
