If They Come Lookin' Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm gonna pick you up in Edna's old pickup truck
We'll head down the Red River
Throw us a line or two, catch us a brown or blue
Get your wife a flathead dinner
And innocent boys get meaner just when them trees get greener
Soon as you cross the state line

[Chorus]
So if they come lookin', tell 'em I'm on the run again
Chasin' the sun again out of my mind
They come lookin', tell 'em that I died again
Crossin' state lines again, wishin' I was home

[Verse 2]
Boys hang around the bend, watch when you're crossin' them
Thеy can smell a Sooner from a mile away
Thеy sit with six-shooters on their chairs and their coolers
And forget them things work both ways
.38 caliber leads to a massacre
I was a traveler last May
I beat him so badly, had to hide out in Jersey
With my dog Jack and best friend Ray

[Chorus]
So if they come lookin', tell 'em I'm on the run again
Chasin' the sun again out of my mind
If they come lookin', tell 'em that I died again
Crossin' state lines again, prayin' for more time

[Outro]
Well, I'm gonna pick you up in Edna's old pickup truck
We'll head down the Red River
Throw us a line or two, catch us a brown or blue
Get your wife a flathead dinner
