Some things just need learnin' and they need learnin' early
This world does not stop turnin' for the reckless in a hurry
In the fever of a temper, Lord, he brought the whole thing down
When he could not forgive her, boys, that's when he found out
That you can't outrun the Mississippi River in a Shelby GT Ford
You can't outrun the angels, you can't outrun the Lord
Well, you can't outrun a broken heart that gives in to a gun
And you can't outrun the Grim Reaper once the deed is done
They found the car in Arkansas, stuck in a muddy bank
About as far as a loose outlaw gets out of a single tank
Well, he must've took to walkin', boys, he must've took to heel
I hear them tracks just disappeared off in a cotton field
Well, you can't outrun the Mississippi River in a Shelby GT Ford
You can't outrun the angels, you can't outrun the Lord
And you can't outrun a broken heart that gives in to a gun
And you can't outrun the Grim Reaper once the deed is done
ย
They buried her so quietly, off in an unmarked grave
They did not call the preacher as the family was disgraced
Her daddy thinks the fool's long gone 'cause he wasn't ever told
That once when Mama came to pray, she found a pistol and a rose
'Cause you can't outrun the Mississippi River in a Shelby GT Ford
You can't outrun the angels, you can't outrun the Lord
And you can't outrun a broken heart that gives in to a gun
And you can't outrun the Grim Reaper once the deed is done
No, you can't outrun the Grim Reaper once the deed is done
