[Verse 1] A man stood in the shadows, his face was drippin sweat He took a break from runnin but he wasnt done yet Looked over his shoulder when he heard the barkin hounds Dug his feet into the earth and headed out of town [Chorus] Town lines far away, and He wont sleep for days Because he just slept with Annie and shes the sheriffs wife Now the sheriffs men have got him runnin for his life [Verse 2] He knew the girl was trouble but he wasnt thinkin clear When she put her hand onto his leg and filled his glass with beer A deputy could see them and tracked the sheriff down Just had time to grab his clothes and highball out of town [Chorus] Town lines far away, and He wont sleep for days And even if he makes it, theres nothin he can do But hope and pray the sheriff there hasnt heard the news [Verse 3] A man stood in the shadows thinkin about the past Bout all the women he had known and livin life too fast He heard a noise behind him, felt a gun against his head Shouldve known the sheriff wouldnt rest til he was dead See Yonder Mountain String Band LiveGet tickets as low as 68You might also like[Chorus] Town lines far away, and Hes six feet in the grave Hes lyin there with Annie, who was the sheriffs wife Til the sheriff and his men robbed them of their lives
