Hit the Ground Running

hit the ground running
when you hit the ground
hit the ground running
and get out of town
hit the ground running
hit the ground running
hit the ground running
when you hit the ground

don't you ever look back
when you're on the run
don't you ever look back
they might have a gun
don't you ever look back
don't you ever look back
don't you ever look back
when you're on the run

(bridge to nowhere)

high in the mountains
where the river is clean
high in the mountains
just you and me
high in the mountains
high in the mountains
high in the mountains
where the river is clean

love me and i'll love you
inside the night
love me and i'll love you
it feels so damn right
love me and i'll love you
love me and i'll love you
love me and i'll love you
inside of the night

(sirens and the posse)

the riders are 'a coming
want to take us away
the riders are 'a coming
there will be hell to pay
the riders are 'a coming
the riders are 'a coming
the riders are 'a coming
they want to take us away

deep in the canyon
at the edge of the rocks
deep in the canyon
at the cliff of hard knocks
deep in the canyon
deep in the canyon
deep in the canyon
at the cliff of hard knocks

(sotto voce)
got to say goodbye sometimes
to the ways that were
got to say goodbye sometimes
and there ain't no cure
we rode to the sunset
we rode to the sea
we rode to the edge of our love
i think on that we agree

hit the ground running
when you hit the ground
hit the ground running
and get out of town
hit the ground running
hit the ground running
hit the ground running
when you hit the ground

don't you ever look back
when you're on the run
don't you ever look back
they might have a gun
don't you ever look back
don't you ever look back
don't you ever look back
when you're on the run
