I've lost in Oklahoma
I've been busted and thrown in jail
And I didn't have no mama to try to pay my bail

Yeah I know about losing, cause I've lost all I've had
But I guess that's the price you'd pay when you're on heartbreak's edge

Down in Arizona, I felt hell on me
And I've lost me some damn good friends
Who gave their life to speed

One day I might find out what is all about
But until then I'll just drink some more
Until I figure it out

On the run driftin' alone
Like a dog without a home
On the run, driftin' alone
Doin' time, running on call???

I know about losing, cause I've lost all I've had
And I did my best to make folks think that I was really worse than bad
Being tattoed as trouble helped me out in New Orleans
But the price I had to pay for that was love and misery

On the run driftin' alone
Like a dog without a home
On the run, driftin' alone
Doin' time, running on call???
Doin' time, driftin' alone
Doin' time, running on call???
