16 days in the canyon

Saddled up and broken down

Distant mistake my only companion

(I look up) My dying fate circles around

What do you do, when you can′t break through?

You better run for your life

Don't think twice, it don′t look nice

You should've run for your life

Never lived clean but wanted the best

Chased the purest dreams so he headed west

The trail stays hard when you're on the run

He took a good man down, then he took another one

It′s what you do when you can′t break through

You should've run for your life

Now you′ve been shot twice, and it don't look nice

You should′ve run for your life

Can't get back

A mother′s heart weeps for eternity

Another son she will never see

She prayed for him and she prayed for them all

And then they realized he had paid it all

It's what they do, "could you? "

I bet you run for your life

It's nothing new, "would you? "

I bet you run for your life
