No Sunlight

When the sheriff comes looking for me

Cry an' say that I’m low down

There ain’t no sunlight

When you’re living underground

Like a horse with no stable

And a glue factory fate

I run when I’m able to

Shake this hitch in my gate

I’ve been running so long

Been given the runaround

There ain’t no sunlight

When you’re living underground

I rode through youth searching for beauty

Wild cactus can’t hardly pierce my tongue

Call it misguided duty

This learning how to run

I’ve been running so long

Been given the runaround

There ain’t no sunlight

When you’re living underground

Tell the man you walk the dog of indecision

But in the end I made the choice

When I said that I was leaving

I could have sworn it was your voice

So here’s a shot of money

Don’t ask where it comes from

Well I strapped on a holster

I just need to find me a gun

I’ve been running so long

Been given the runaround

There ain’t no sunlight

When you’re living underground

There ain’t no sunlight
