Discover the story of the song > Living on the Run – David Allan Coe

The song is about a man who is on the run from the law because he killed a woman in Tennessee and broke out of jail. He's lonely and finds it hard to live his life on the run, but he believes that being an outlaw is what women love, so he will live that way until the end. He's trying to make it to the border by Saturday night in hopes of escaping from the law.
