[Verse 1]
He cracks a wicked smile at his foot pressed to the floor
Flyin' down country roads that he's been down before
One of just three men that the sheriff cannot catch
And he's travelin' ninety miles an hour down the Bolton Stretch

[Verse 2]
The first time we had seen his face was back in '84
Walked right into old O'Hare's, he robbed that liquor store
The sheriff tried to catch him, but the man, he got away
And he didn't show his face in town again until today

[Chorus]
He didn't come for justice, didn't come to make amends
Doesn't ask forgiveness, he's not lookin' to make friends
Just that he was passin' through with money wearin' thin
Now he's travelin' down the Bolton Stretch again

[Verse 3]
He watches as the trees fly by, but doesn't seem to care
Knows it's time to leave again, but doesn't know to where
Though he stole a lot of money, it's not enough for bail
And there are two blue lights behind him now, the sheriff's on his trail

[Verse 4]
Since the day that he was born, he spent his whole life livin' free
With nothin' but the loosest ties to friends and family
No punishment will make him care about the things he's done
And if he lives another twenty years, he'll live 'em on the run
[Chorus]
He didn't come for justice, didn't come to make amends
Doesn't ask forgiveness, he's not lookin' to make friends
Just that he was passin' through with money wearin' thin
Now he's travelin' down the Bolton Stretch again
