Out by the gate
Wrapped in each others arms
She whispered, why risk comin here
He said I had to take a chance
Watching from the ridge
The Sergeant and his men
Could see their wanted man
Take a chance
Chorus
Don’t stop running
Don’t turn for a second glance
You’re an innocent man wrongly accused
Take a chance
She tried to distract them
But troopers are sharp
Riding in the distance
Was their man taking a chance
One shot and he fell
The Sergeant’s men closed in
Don’t move it’ll be your last
He had to take a chance…
Chorus
Don’t stop running
Don’t turn for a second glance
You’re an innocent man wrongly accused
Take a chance
bridge
With the bullet deep in his side
In his sweethearts arms he waited to die
Once accused of a crime
The law won’t rest, till ya dead or done your time……..keep on running
That was so long ago
An old woman kneels next to a grave
With a tear remembers the young romance
And the man who took his chance
