The boy gets crazy when he's sittin' at the bar Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him to far Rot gut whiskey and home made wine Make a good country boy just lose his mind
Like a run away train rollin' through the night The boy ain't got no fear Like a race car hittin' the wall he gets hard to steer Waitin' for the smoke to clear
OOOOHH Betty got caught in the back of Bobby's car Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar Her daddy blew a fuse and he went for his gun EEEEE Now Bobby and Betty thier on the run
Like a run away train rollin' through the nite Nothin's gonna stop them now Gotta keep on movin', coverin' tracks somehow
Like a run away train rollin' through the night The kids ain't got no fear Daddy's (wizz?) bang is the last sound Bobby's gonna hear ooohhh Waitin for the smoke to clear
Daddy finally caught him in the end of his gun Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun OOhh Good God almighty, Oh heaven sakes Betty's Daddy turned out to be Jake
Like a run away train rollin' through the nite Jake ain't got no fear
Know the hangman judge gonna give the boy 99 years Here sits Jake at the back of this bar Sippin' on a nice cold beer
If the law had a clue all they'd do is look right here When they see Jake..... waitin' for the smoke to clear
