Her folks sent a man to get us
They say we've done wrongSo we run, yeah we run, yeah we run
From the stranger in townStranger in town, he's out to get me
Stranger in town wants me and my babyHe follows me to every town
And if he gets me he'll bring me downSo we run, yeah we run, yeah we run
From the stranger in townI'm not afraid of what they'll do to me
I'm just afraid they'll hurt my baby
We don't care if we run forever
