[Verse 1]
Keechie and Bowie ran from the law
To start a new life of their own
Out in the night and way outta sight
Racin' like horses of chrome
Lifetime in prison was waitin' for Bowie
Though he was just twenty-two
Keechie loved Bowie and he loved her too
Deeper than the ocean blue
[Chorus]
Keechie and Bowie were kids on the run
Running as fast as the wind
Run, run, boy, run
And don't let 'em catch you again
[Verse 2]
The young boy's name was all over the news
His face was known in the land
How could they live the peaceful life
Of a common woman and man
They couldn't stand in the welfare line
When all they had left was a dime
Askin' forgiveness and prayin' the Lord
Redemption for all of their crimes
[Chorus]
Keechie and Bowie were kids on the run
Running as fast as the wind
Run, run, boy, run
And don't let 'em catch you again
[Verse 3]
Keechie and Bowie were forty-five miles
Away from the border line
Freedom was close but, oh, that night
Fortune was not on their side
The long shiny barrels of a Texas patrol
Rose in the dead of the night
Keechie and Bowie's dyin' bed
Was layed in the pale moonlight
[Chorus]
Keechie and Bowie died on the run
They'll never go back to the can
Run, run, boy, run
And don't let 'em catch you again
