I've lost in
Oklahoma,
I've been busted and thrown in jail
And I didn't have no momma
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 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 speak
One day I might find out
what it's all about
But until then I'll just
drink some more
Until I figure it out
On the run, drifting alone
Like a dog without a home
On the run, drifting along,
Doing time, running on
cold
I know about losing,
cause I've lost all I've had
And I did my best to make folks
think I was way worse than bad
Being tattooed 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, drifting along,
Doing time, running on cold,
Doin' time, driftin' along
Doin' time, runnin' on coal
