I am running from my government 
Wanted for the crimes I commit 
I left behind all the things that I love 
Took a train to the eastern border 
Told my daughter I will be back for her 
Bought a ticket with no destination. 

I see faces everywhere I go 
Forced smiles and furrowed brow 
Is that a gun or a violin? 
I am under the impression that 
There is something underneath that hat 
Tiny bomb or sleeping pills. 
 
Are you on the wrong side 
Are you on the wrong side 
Of what is right? And 
Are you on the wrong road 
Are you on the wrong road 
From where you want to be? 
 
Maybe I could turn and face my demons 
Tell the suits that I had my reasons 
I could take whatever’s coming to me 
Be a father behind a locked door 
Keep your letters in an empty drawer 
Whatever happens it’s the green mile for me.
