Like a murder in a one horse town I can tell you word gets around I hear you've been lookin' for me Searchin five years runnin' for me Got to prove you're something to me Once your brother came ahead of you Heard a rumor, wondered was it true Said he had my number, like you Driven by that hunger to prove Just a hard luck runner, like you I'll play this out for just so long Say your prayers or move on If you've got the sense to run Hard luck runner run on By the twilight, or the desert sun In the midnight, someone always comes Someone with my number, like you Driven by that hunger to prove Another hard luck runner, like you
