They Won't Let Me Run Lyrics - John Vanderslice

I was born a couple miles from here 

My family rented me this house 

So my family keeps me near 

From 1909, my familys run the town 

You step out of line, poor sap 

Family council sit you down 

Day I fell in love of course we fucked around 

The morning she threw up 

My options were laid out 

I follow through and now I got two sons 

No peace even when you come 

Cause they wont let you run 

No, they won't let you run 

I got dead drunk and packed up the pickup truck 

Got way out of town I thought 

But sheriff tracked me down 

They dragged me home and the family sat me down 

They kept me cuffed up and they roughed me up and said 

Well never let you run 

No, they won't let me run
