The Lyrics

don't have time to make a small raft,
tracking dogs are coming too fast
when my scent is gone, I'll be moving
they'll lose me when I cross the river

they say they got several strips of dna,
all I wanted was some T and A
freedom days are gone, now I'm runnin on,
they'll lose me when I cross the river

well they district attorney is so slimy and wormy
he wants me to fry
man is he so snarky, wants to get me in old sparky
and zap till I die, yeah he says...

don't have time to make a small raft,

when my scent is gone, I'll be moving
they'll lose me when I cross the river

well they district attorney is so slimy and wormy
he wants me to fry
man is he so snarky, wants to get me in old sparky
and zap till I die, yeah he says...
