Work all day in the desert sun
If the guard comes near, I'll take his gun
Been here too long, got to be today
Been waiting too long to get away

Running
I'm breaking away today

Got to hide my tracks, I'm on the run
The law will come with blazing guns
Tracked across the desert and over the plains
To put me away is his aim

Running I'm hiding away
I've got to stay free now
I've broken the chains
The chains that would bind me
I must get away
The lawman is coming
Can't ever slow down

I got to stay cool, I got to move fast
Now, that I've got my freedom at last
But I'll spend my life

Running I'll hide and I'll run
Till the end of my days

In the darkness wood
Deep in the forest
Darkness, danger and fright
In the dragon's lair
There's a creature there
Waking up to the night
Oh, he takes a flight

In a village near
People run in fear
Save your soul and get out
Got to get away
They're the dragon's prey
Some will perish, no doubt
Run and pray

Run for your life
It comes out of the sky
Run for you life
If you don't you will die
Oh oh, oh

Then came the sainted one
With the sword of Ascalon
Lance and a stallion of white
He' the dragon slayer
The man who knows no fear
The people's saviour this knight
He comes to fight

You're undecided
About what you should do
You want to do it but you just can't lose
You can't decide, too much to lose
A steady income to play by the rules

You want the money
You want to do it
You've got to take your chance
The grass is greener on the other side
You've got to take a chance

The ultimatum delivered to you
Give me your answer, what will you do?
You must decide
Tell me, what will you lose?
A steady income to play by the rules

You want the money
You want to do it
You've got to take your chance
The grass is greener on the other side
You've got to take a chance
Ad lib, you know what I'm saying

Sign on the contract, makin' new friends
Run out of money, you're hungry again
Do what you have to fight to the end
Do what you need to make them prepared

You want the money
You want to do it
You've got to take your chance
The grass is greener on the other side
You've got to take a chance

You want the money
You want to do it
You've got to take your chance
The grass is greener on the other side
You've got to take a chance
