[Verse 1]
We were twins to be born that day
But I could never let it be that way
Mama's lifeline proved a good noose
With a taste for killin', I was on the loose
[Verse 2]
My folks hated me for what I did that day
So I slit their throats, sent 'em to their grave
I headed for the Smokies in Tennessee
A lot of good killin' was ahead of me
[Chorus]
I'm a killer on the lam
I don't mind livin' with some blood on my hands
Your life to me ain't worth a damn
To this killer on the lam
[Verse 3]
Met a mountain girl from a minin' town
Her first time when the sun went down
All she wanted was to marry me
So I cut her where she loved me and I watched her bleed
Her daddy from the holler saw blood so red
So I drug him in the river and I drowned him dead
[Chorus]
I'm a killer on the lam
I don't mind livin' with some blood on my hands
Your life to me ain't worth a damn
To this killer on the lam
[Verse 4]
Wore out my welcome in Arkansas
Killed a Christian family of the Pentacost
Georgia cracker was a-talkin' at me
So I cut out his tongue, hung it from a tree
Now the southern law wants to put me in jail
But I'll still be killin' when I'm burnin' in hell
[Chorus]
I'm a killer on the lam
I don't mind livin' with some blood on my hands
Your life to me ain't worth a damn
To this killer on the lam
To this killer on the lam
To this killer on the lam
