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
