[Lyric] Katie Belle (Eastbound Jesus)

[Chorus 1]
The law got me running
Running away
I can feel 'em coming
And I know I can't stay
Trailing behind me
Off and Mexico bound
But you know they won't find me
Till I'm dead on the ground
Now you know they won't find me
Till I'm dead on the ground

[Verse 1]
Well I was singing songs for drinks
Out on the county border line
At some hole out in the trees
Where the people all get high
Some southern hell named Katie Belle
We stole a brand new Cadillac
And headed on the sly
She busted through a front door
With a shotgun and commands
Saying, "Gеt on the ground, don't make a sound
Give us what you can"
Thеre was kids and mommas crying
Holding up their hands
We took everything we could
And out the door we ran
[Chorus 1]
Now the law got me running
Running away
I can feel 'em coming
And I know I can't stay
Trailing behind me
Off and Mexico bound
But you know they won't find me
Till I'm dead on the ground
Now you know they won't find me
Till I'm dead on the ground

[Verse 2]
There were flashing lights at every turn
We were trying to get out
Katie Belle, yeah, take the wheel
Don't you turn around
I heard shotgun shells and Katie Belle
Falling on the ground
But I was too afraid to look
So I just laid the pedal down
Now I'm on my way to Mexico
And I'm running out of gas
Katie's in the backseat
And I know she's fading fast
I pulled over on the shoulder
With one hand on my gun
Looked at Katie in the rearview
Said, "I'll see you when it's done"
[Chorus 2]
Now that lawman is drawing
He's staring me down
He said, "Boy, I been longing
Just to see you on the ground"
Said, "Don't try to test me"
I just looked him in the eye
I said, "You know you won't catch me
Till the day that I die
No, you know you won't catch me
Till the day that I die
