Not there days ago In a place no one knows Someone took the life of the man Who killed my wife She'd been forced by a gang I swore that all would hang Now their leader's dead It was me who took his head Tonight I'm on the run But I won't rest 'til it's done On and on I'll flee 'cause I know they're out for me I can't sleep tonight I'm ready for a fight Now it's first degree And the cops are hunting me Get away Tonight I'll get away Get away Tonight I'll break away Get away Tonight I'll far away Get away No one will catch me Don't give up, it has to be Such a long night But I know it's me who's right Surely I'll escape All the time I'll stay awake A knife in my fist I have got to take the risk
