Lyrics
Verse 1
Red and blue lights in my rearview glassDust on the road, memories moving fastThey put my name on a story I don't ownNow every town feels colder than homeA photograph, a witness got it wrongOne bad night and now I'm on the runI hear the sirens singing through the rainBut I won't wear somebody else's chains
Pre‑Chorus
Every mile is another prayerEvery shadow says they're there
Chorus
I'm hiding from the law, but I didn't do itRunning through the dark while the whole world knew itThey call me guilty, but the truth is aliveAnd I'm holding on just to surviveIf they catch me now, they'll never hear my sideSo I keep on running through the dead of nightI'm hiding from the law, but it's not my crimeIt's not my crime
Verse 2
Cheap motel curtains and a borrowed nameLiving like a ghost inside somebody's frameGot a folded letter and a heart full of proofSomewhere in the distance lives the honest truthThey can chase my footsteps across every stateBut the truth keeps waiting on the other side of fate
Pre‑Chorus
Every heartbeat fights the fearEvery answer's drawing near
Chorus
I'm hiding from the law, but I didn't do itRunning through the dark while the whole world knew itThey call me guilty, but the truth is aliveAnd I'm holding on just to surviveIf they catch me now, they'll never hear my sideSo I keep on running through the dead of nightI'm hiding from the law, but it's not my crimeIt's not my crime
Bridge
Someday the lies will lose their holdThe real story's waiting to be toldAnd when the truth finally sees the lightI won't have to run another night
Final Chorus
I was hiding from the law, but I didn't do itSpent so many years trying to make it through itThey called me guilty, but the truth survivedAnd I kept my faith aliveNow the truth is louder than the whispers and liesNo more running from the flashing lightsI was hiding from the law, but it's not my crimeNo, it's not my crime
Outro
Not my crime...Not my crime...The truth will find its time.
