Story behind the song
James and I were in a band, Trikks, and wrote this in 1978. This is a poor recording of the song, but it is the only copy that I have.
Lyrics
“The Run” James Elder Joe Alford (1977) Verse 1 Barroom brawls when night time falls Everybody’s goin’ crazy You walk in this joint just to find a point Soon you’ll be pushin’ daisies Chorus 1 Life on the run, what good is a gun Life on the run, what good is a gun Verse 2 You’ve been busted, stabbed and whipped But your pride has never slipped, you never back down to a stranger And now you realize lookin’ into his eyes Your life will soon be in danger Chorus 2 Life on the run, what good is a gun Life on the run, what good is a gun Solo Chorus 3 Life on the run, what good is a gun Life on the run, what good is a gun
