This song is a high-octane outlaw anthem about flight, defiance, and survival, driven by roaring engines and a past that won’t slow down. It captures the thrill and desperation of running toward freedom, knowing the road may save you—or burn you out before dawn.

Song Lyrics

×
(Strophe)
Got a busted-up Chevy and a half-dead phone.
Dust in my teeth and a tailwind groan.
Blue lights spinnin' in the rearview glass.
They're lookin' for a name, I'm just lookin' for gas.

Engine runnin' hot like a temper gone wild.
Road hums low like a outlaw child.
Ain't slowin' down till the tires give way.
If I hit the state line, I'll be gone by day.


(Refrain)
Run, run - let the engine roar like hell.
Kickin' up the dust with a story I won't tell.
Run, run - feel the thunder in my chest.
I'm a loaded spark settin' fire to the west.
Run, run - steel screaming through the night.
I tear the road open just to stay in the fight.
Run, run - and the law can choke on the sound
’Cause I'm long gone, burnin' blacktop to the ground.


(Strophe)
Radio's crackin' with a warnin' shout.
"Man on the run" - yeah, they’re talkin' 'bout me, no doubt.
Got a map on the dash with the corners torn.
A story on my back from the night I was born.

Headlights cut through a midnight haze.
Heart beatin' double in a dead-man's race.
I ride the edge where the good sense Ends.
Countin' every mile like a count of my sins.


(Refrain)
Run, run - let the engine roar like hell.
Kickin' up the dust with a story I won't tell.
Run, run - feel the thunder in my chest.
I'm a loaded spark settin' fire to the west.
Run, run - steel screaming through the night.
I tear the road open just to stay in the fight.
Run, run - and the law can choke on the sound
’Cause I'm long gone, burnin' blacktop to the ground.


(Strophe)
If the road don't save me, the night just might.
If the law don't catch me, I'll outrun daylight.
One more mile and I'm free, I swear.
But the devil rides shotgun, breathin' down my hair.


(Refrain)
Run, run - let the engine roar like hell.
Kickin' up the dust with a story I won't tell.
Run, run - feel the thunder in my chest.
I'm a loaded spark settin' fire to the west.
Run, run - steel screaming through the night.
I tear the road open just to stay in the fight.
Run, run - and the law can choke on the sound
’Cause I'm long gone, burnin' blacktop to the ground.
