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!!
