[Verse 1]

Don't have to ask for your opinion on much

The sky isn't blue unless you said that it was

The family business of pushing your luck

Till you're tearing those stickers off the back of your truck

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you don't believe it

Nobody does, yeah

They're better without you

You son of a gun

'Cause you don't believe it

Nobody does, yeah

They're better without you

[Chorus]

A man on the run

Man on the run

[Verse 2]

Go missing for years

And all the sudden show up

Passed out in the kitchen, hope no one's calling your bluff

There's something sadistic about lying for fun

And pulling one over on the ones that you love

[Chorus]

But no one believed you

Not even she does

We're better without you

You son of a gun

No one believes you

Well, maybe she does

We're better without you

[Chorus]

A man on the run

Man on the run

Man on the run

You'll never see the ruins that you leave

We'll still be better off without you

Man on the run

Man on the run

[Bridge]

I don't ever wanna live like that

You can always turn and run, but it won't last

Always said that holding on to me

Was the last thing you had

[Outro]

Man on the run

I don't ever wanna live like that

You can always turn and run, but it won't last

Man on the run

I don't feel like living in the past

Wouldn't change it if I had another chance

Man on the run

I don't ever wanna live like that

You'll never see the ruins that you leave

You can always turn and run, but it won't last

We'll still be better off without you

Man on the run

I don't feel like living in the past

Wouldn't change it if I had another chance

Man on the run
