Living on The Run

Neesies Poems

Livin' on the run, livin' like a vilain

Runnin' from the law, always deceivin'.

Gave up my pride, gave up my dignity

To live a life, free from parental jury!


Left the homestead at the age of fourteen

The silence lingered on the farmyard scene

The streets ,the hunger, chores of daily strife

Had soon become the distorted faces of my life!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Livin' on the run, livin' like a vilain

Runnin' from the law, always deceivin'.

Gave up my pride, gave up my dignity

To live a life, free from parental jury!


In and out of jail, always in trouble

Livin on the edge, prison gives me double

Gotta get your life in order, a warden says to me

Change your crazy antics, a better person you'll be!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Livin'On the run, livin' like a vilain

Runnin' from the law, always deceivin'.

Gave up my pride, gave up my dignity

To live a life, free from parental jury!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm living the life, living the motto of my cree                                                                                                                                                      

Live life fully, be your own judge and jury!

I changed my crazy ways, raised a little family

Chains that once bound me, now set me free!!


I was...                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Livin'On the run, livin' like a vilain

Runnin' from the law, always deceivin'.

Gave up my pride, gave up my dignity

To live life fully free from my own jury!!
