lyrics

Been ridin’ on, all day long, hopin we can set up camp b’fore sundown
Spent three days gone, up in the mountains, living like a gnome, sleepin on the cold cold ground
Well we robbed a bank down in Waynesboro
Been runnin from the man e’r since
If I don’t cross that mountain by sundown Oh lord
I’m bound to keep-a-ridin’ on

Didn’t mean to do wrong, aint had no options, now im livin on the road, runnin from them cold iron bars
When I’s a young man, I made a promise. Never steal a dime, even if you’re livin’ outta boxcars.
But I only feel at home on the highway
And my old man made his coin skippin’ the law
If I can’t make my break ridin’ this train back to Crozet
I’m bound to keep-a-ridin’ on

Lord know my time aint come, I gotta keep on runnin, for I am the man that Sheriff wants to find
So I grabbed my guns, ran towards the mountains, gonna leave everything that I love behind
Well I might head out to California
Might go on down to ole Mexico
And if they find me wherever Im hidin’, then buddy imonewarnya
I’m bound to keep-a-ridin’ on
