Okay, I've done a second rewrite of this...I'm hoping it's better? The newest changes are now in ALL CAPS. Travis had originally suggested the Kissin' Cousin thing, and when I originally wrote it, I had contemplated that. But, I was too focused on the truth. However, I do think that it's better for the song. Thanks for steering me away from truth, Travis! When Michael said that no one likes a rat, I knew I had to include a rat! Thanks, Michael! They’ve Got Me On the Run (2nd rewrite) I caught THOSE COUSINS doing wrong and told THEIR MAMAS (MY SISTERS BY LAW) THIER first response was silky smooth then I swear THEIR fingers turned into claws I dodged THEIR blows and might have won ’til THEY recruited backup from THEIR clan Turns out they’re rabid like THE REST Gonna chase my hide in their beat-up van CHORUS They’re teaching me a lesson They’ve got me on the run Each one gave their blessing They’re loading all theIR guns The knives are being sharpened A noose is being hung The room is being darkened Last rites are being sung I’m a hillbilly by marriage Trying to hold on to some of my roots Where I come from COUSINS don’t kiss And telling the truth don’t get you the boot Look at ‘em there licking their chops Hoping I’m roadkill by later tonight A dead man might not tell no tales (but) While I’m alive I’ll continue to write BRIDGE HEAR ‘EM CALLIN’ ME A NO-GOOD SNITCHIN’ RAT BEARIN’ DOWN ON ME LIKE A HERD OF CATS REPEAT CHORUS (c) 2014, Lisa Gundling They’ve Got Me On the Run (1st rewrite)
Thanks so much to Travis and Ricky! Based upon their feedback and great help, I’ve made some changes in ALL CAPS! Update: Thanks, Gus! I made that perceptive change of yours!
I caught my nieces doing wrong and told their mama instead of the law Her first response was silky smooth then I swear her fingers turned into claws I dodged her blows and might have won ’til she RECRUITED BACKUP from HER clan Turns out they’re rabid just like her GONNA CHASE MY HIDE in THEIR BEAT UP van
CHORUS They’re teaching me a lesson They’ve got me on the run Each one gave their blessing They’re loading all theIR guns The knives are being sharpened A noose is being hung The room is being darkened Last rites are being sung
I’m a hillbilly by marriage TRYING TO HOLD ON TO SOME OF MY ROOTS Where I come from sisters don’t kiss AND TELLING THE TRUTH DON’T GET YOU THE BOOT LOOK AT 'EM THERE licking their chops Hoping I’m roadkill by later tonight A dead man MIGHT NOT tell no tales (but) While I’m alive I’ll continue to write
REPEAT CHORUS
(c) 2014, Lisa Gundling
