When Evil Men Go On the Run Lyrics by Ross Golan

The Wrong Man

2019

[Chorus]
When evil men go on the run
When evil men go on the run
[Verse 1]
The man in black had been in prison for passing fraudulent checks
While abating arrest for soliciting minors for sex
He's a cold, cold man with little to no pity
He killed his pregnant ex-wife and left for Mexico City
He crossed the border into Tijuana, Mexico
Tilted his 10-gallon brim down to the bottom of his nose
The border patrol only saw a man on vacation
And didn't notice the total parole violation
[Chorus]
When evil men go on the run
When evil men go on the run
[Verse 2]
The Federales smell Americans from miles away
The man in black had hitched almost all the way to Campeche Bay
But old habits die hard, he forged a couple checks
Now, he's in Mexican custody for resisting arrest
[Chorus]
When evil men go on the run
When evil men go on the run
Well, even evil men believe in getting even is fair
So they go where extradition is rare
[Post-Chorus]
When evil men go on the run
Heavily armed with loaded guns
If you see one, turn and run
When evil men go on the run
[Verse 3]
The FBI sent agents to extradite a man in black
He laughed and said that he'd been waiting for his one-way ticket back
When they told him he was going to Folsom Prison, he said
"If there's one thing I've learned, I'd rather be locked up than be dead"
[Chorus]
When evil men go on the run
When evil men go on the run
Well, even evil men believe in getting even is fair
So they go where extradition is rare
[Post-Chorus]
When evil men go on the run
Heavily armed with loaded guns
If you see one, turn and run
Because they'll murder just for fun
Bury the evidence in mud
Framing a man for what he's done
When evil men go on the run
