lyrics

In boots of brown he circles around
A body laying still on the ground
He kneels down to see if the poor soul still breathes
But he doesn't hear a sound

What can you do when you're faced with the truth
You can't tell me it'll all be okay
Where can you run when you're framed with a gun
And the people will surely want blood

The deed's been done but he wasn't the one
To take this unfortunate son
His eyes tell his grief there's scorn in his teeth
Truth be damned, they'll still have him hung

What can you do when you're faced with the truth
You can't tell me it'll all be okay
Where can you run when you're framed with a gun
And the people will surely want blood

Run, run, run, run in the sting of the sun
Run, run all day
Run, run, run, run, your life's come undone
You still can't run fast enough away

So run fast to her, it's more than allure
She's your only saving grace
Sing your true song cause you can't sing for long
And remember the lines on her face

He runs to the woman who knows his good name
While the sheriff takes his aim
He falls in her arms; she hides her alarm
The papers have given him fame

What can you do when you're faced with the truth
You can't tell me it'll all be okay
Where can you run when you're framed with a gun
And the people will surely want blood

Run, run, run, run in the deafening night
Run, til your legs give way
Run, run, run, run for your life
Run so you'll see the next day

Eighteen miles West tattooed on his chest
I'll love you til my dying day
Face down in the grass they found him at last
Just one girl remembered his name

Just one girl remembered his name
