Discover the story of the song > Bounty Hunter – Molly Hatchet

The song is about a bounty hunter who just came back from a difficult hunt. They ride on their horse named Thunder and carry a gun by their side. They wonder if it's worth the money they earn and contemplate what it feels like for outlaws running from the law and potentially dying. The chorus repeats the idea of outlaws running from the noose, and the song ends with the bounty hunter saying they will hunt down anyone with a bounty on their head.
