Mavericks and renegades, belt buckle brandishes
Baseball bats, and we dealt knuckle sandwiches
Motor-psycho, organized deadly doctrine
Around back, soundtrack: steady rockin' Eddie Cochran
Gene Vincent, supreme instant acceleration
Contradictory, bowling alley victory celebration
With broken bones, outspoken, condones smoking Winstons
Backseat bingo and pink flamingo, for instance

Ripped in half, the joker and the devil
The slower and the several, I'm lowering my level
Ripped in half, the joker and the devil
The slower and the several, I'm lowering my level

I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law

Solitary alignment, jack of diamonds cuts glass
Remain solid, chain wallet, switchblade and duck's ass
Deluxe class top model toiled alone
Court order, spoiled, motor oil cologne
The wild one, on top of it, the opposite of wholesome
Isn't innocent, fair trial, hairstyle, Folsom Prison
Square mile iconoclast, outclassed, concerned mother
I learned from her how to take a hit and burn rubber

Ripped in half, the joker and the devil
The slower and the several, I'm lowering my level
Ripped in half, the joker and the devil
The slower and the several, I'm lowering my level

I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law

Johnny Guitar, scarred quicker, part time card flicker
Bootlegger, roustabout, doused the flames with hard liquor
Hairpins and wide turns, do things on my terms
Cuffs on my jeans, leather jackets, and sideburns
That's class, at last, slowpokes I blast past
Cold war brewing, I don't give a rat's ass
Miserable fights for civil rights in bag faces
Pinball, pretty girl in bondage, and drag races

Ripped in half, the joker and the devil
The slower and the several, I'm lowering my level
Ripped in half, the joker and the devil
The slower and the several, I'm lowering my level

I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law
I'm running from the law, breaking the law
Beat it
