Story behind the song

Joanne saw a movie about a man running from the law.  Her wheels started churning and she thought a song about a crime between twins had a great twist.

Lyrics

Fast as I Could Flee   by Joanne Tramonte  (C) 6/24/13
        
         VERSE 1:                    
Got in a little trouble down in San Antone.
About a man that died,
Bullet through the neck bone.
Can't say that I cried,
When I heard his last moan.
        CHORUS                   
So I hit the road fast as I could flee.
Blood on my hands. Mud on my knees.                              
No time to clean the shame that leaked from my name,
When I hit the road fast as I could flee.
        VERSE 2:
I read something about the manhunt.
No mention of his blade.
Your prodigal son,
He always had it made.
Now I'm the one on the run.
        CHORUS
When I hit the road fast as I could flee.
Blood on my hands. Mud on my knees.                              
No time to clean the shame that leaked from my name,
When I hit the road fast as I could flee.
        Bridge:             
I couldn't get away from me.
Had to look in the mirror and see: 
my evil twin's eyes looking back at me.
          CHORUS 
...and I hit the road fast as I could flee.
Blood on my hands. Mud on my knees.                              
No time to clean the shame that leaked from my name,
When I hit the road fast as I could flee.
       Tag:
When I hit the road fast as I could flee
Blaming myself, blaming me.  When I hit the road as fast as I could flee.
When I hit the road as fast as I could flee.
