Killer On The Lam Lyrics

We were twins to be born that day
But I could never let it be that way
Mama's lifeline proved a good noose
With a taste for killin', I was on the loose

My folks hated me for what I did that day
So I slit their throats, sent 'em to their grave
Well I headed for the Smokies in Tennessee
A lot of good killin' was ahead of me

I'm a killer on the lam
I don't mind livin' with some blood on my hands
Your life to me ain't worth a damn
To this killer on the lam

Met a mountain girl from a minin' town
Her first time when the sun went down
All she wanted was to marry me
So I cut her where she loved me and I watched her bleed
Her daddy from the holler saw her blood so red
So I drug him in the river and I drowned him dead

I'm a killer on the lam
I don't mind livin' with some blood on my hands
Your life to me ain't worth a damn
To this killer on the lam

Wore out my welcome in Arkansas
Killed a Christian family from the Pentacost
That Georgia cracker was a-talkin' at me
So I cut out his tongue and I watched him bleed
Well the southern law wants to put me in jail
But I'll still be killin' when I'm burnin' in hell

I'm a killer on the lam
I don't mind livin' with some blood on my hands
Your life to me ain't worth a damn
To this killer on the lam
To this killer on the lam
To this killer on the lam
