Don't Be Afraid to Run

Down in the holler there's a thriving town
 A treasure trove that makes the world go 'round
 When the city barons bring their legal papers and guns
 Oh darlin', don't be afraid to run
 When we came to settle here, we came to stay
 Maybe raise a family, earn a decent wage
 Now every public servant reeks of suspicion
 So darlin', don't be afraid to run
 Darlin', don't be afraid to run
 And don't turn your back on the noonday sun
 Someday redemption will wash everyone
 But there's no telling when that day will come
 So darlin', don't be afraid to run
 ♪
 Maybe we'll rendezvous out in nowheresville
 Or maybe we'll find each other runnin' still
 Until we reach that auspicious liaison
 Oh darlin', don't be afraid to run
 Darlin', don't be afraid to run
 And don't turn your back on the noonday sun
 The people will greet you with derision
 You'll never be their model citizen
 So darlin', don't be afraid to run
