On The Run Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Nate Hasto

[INTRO]
[D] [C]

[VERSE 1]
[D]Well I done filled up my gunny sack, packed the [C]things I’ll need as I go down the [D]road

[D]Hopped a train in Memphis, Tennessee, whe[C]re it’s bound, well North or South don’t truly [D]know

As these days[C] pass[F] by, r[D]olling down th[C]e line[F] [D]

[C] [F] [D] D* [D]
I’m so lonesome I could cry

[CHORUS]
[D]Law men gaining on my trail, [C]truth and justice will prevail, [F]knowing that, why don’t I cease to [G]run

[D]Desperate seeking for relief, [C]can’t be found inside of me, [F]conscience says "you’ll pay for what you’ve [G]done”

[VERSE 2]
[D]This deep sorrow’s my companion, sowing seeds as tear[C]s fall on this sun baked clay [D]

[D]Seems I’m drifting in and out of place, pray to God, "Lo[C]rd won’t you help me find my way.” [D]

[C] [F] [D] [C] [F] [D] [C] [F] [D] D* [D]
Are these lines so blurred, A’int sure where to turn, tell me how can I return.

[VERSE 3]
[D]To that night I filled my travel pack, with the evide[C]nce of those mistakes I made [D]

[D]Is this life I’m living on the run, really be[C]tter than just accepting my fate? [D]

Life beh[C]ind [F]those [D]bars, just seemed [C]much [F]to ha[D]rd

[C] [F] [D] D* [D]
Yet my mind’s been caged thus far

[CHORUS]
[D]Law men gaining on my trail, [C]truth and justice will prevail, [F]knowing that, why don’t I cease to [G]run

[D]Desperate seeking for relief, [C]can’t be found inside of me, [F]conscience says "you’ll pay for what you’ve [G]done”

[CHORUS 2 X2]
[D]Law man here’s the wrong I’ve done, [C]It’s over now, nowhere to run, [F]tell you the truth

I’m glad you tracked me [G]down

[D]My guilt it ate away at me, [C]to speak the truth, oh now I’m free, I’ll p[F]ay my dues

it’s what was meant to be, [G]oh

Outro: D, C, D
