You know Mary was a woman fine
She was living with a hard guy
Mary got beat up
One too many times
She's a runaway
She's a runaway
Mary stole some money
And she got herself a gun
Then she shot her man down
Now she's on the run
She's a runaway
She's a runaway
Well, she ain't lookin' back anymore
She said, Catch me if you can anymore
You know she didn't wanna do it
But he just pushed her too far
Everybody got a breakin' point
And baby, there you are
She's a runaway
Run, run, runaway
She's a runaway
Run, run, runaway
Well, she ain't lookin' back anymore
She said, Catch me if you can anymore
Well, that's the story
Of Mary and the gun
You know, she's a lot tougher now
She's livin' on the run
She's a runaway
She's a runaway
Run, run, runaway
She's a runaway
