You got struck with some bad luck,
There's a black cat by your side
And I'm afraid you chose the red door,
With the triple 6 neon sign
And what those witchdoctors do to you
I wouldn't want it for myself
After all that you've been through
Haven't you learned anything?You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em,
They want your head, you can't outrun 'emI guess two souls will meet again,
When the universe thinks they should.
Even if their own bloodlines,
Don't run as deep as they could
And will your mama pull you through?
I wouldn't wish it on my enemy
Now that I am living proof,
That history repeatsYou can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em,
They want you dead
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'emYou better talk quickly, 'cause my sister's at the door
'Cause I want to know everything,
Who I am and what it's for
What the Lord has planned for you,
I guess that it was meant
Wanted to get to know you,
Before you were dead!You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em,
I know you can't
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't
