Start running

start running *************

v1

jl hunter roundtree 91 years old he robbed a bank

all his friends have died like his wife

50 years of love suddenly gone

(chorus)

start running (2)

v2

he tried to run but could not get far tackled down by some football star 91, prison bound he used to be a rich man

75 employees a big house living in a american dream now all he has got is a cold cell block moon shining in

(chorus)

start running when you got nowhere left to go

start running the last outlaw is coming home

start running three meals a day beats none

start running god only knows if it is wrong

start running *2

I look forward to hearing this sung.

Lyric reminded me of me of The King of Corsica who died in a debtors prison - epitaph by Walpole on London Soho gravestone:

Near this place is interred Theodore King of Corsica, Who died in this perish Dec. 11, 1756, Immediately after leaving the King's-Bench Prison, By the benefit of the Act of Insolvency. In consequence of which he registered His Kingdom of Corsica For the use of his Creditors.

The Grave, great teacher, to a level brings heroes and beggars, galley-slaves and kings. But Theodore this lesson learn'd, ere dead; Fate pour'd its lessons on his living head, Bestow'd a kingdom and denied him bread.
