Lyrics
My life is so empty, Nothing to live for My mind is all confusion, 'Cause I defied the law

When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran I never had no trouble, Before this all began, yeah

My life is so empty, Nothing to live for My mind is all confusion, 'Cause I defied the law

When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran I never had no trouble, Before this all began, yeah

I'm running away, No where to go I'm lost and tired, And I just don't know, yeah

They say I killed a woman, They know it isn't true They're just trying to frame me, And all because of you, yeah Ooh yeah, oh yeah

Lord I'm running
