Kitchie and Bowie ran from the law to start a new life of their own
Out in the night and way out of sight
racing like horses of chrome
Lifetime in prison was waiting for Bowie though he was just 22
Kitchie loved Bowie and he loved her too deeper than the ocean blue
Kitchie and Bowie were kids on the run
running as fast as the wind
Run, run, Bo, run
and don't let them catch you again
The young boy's name was all over the
news His face was known in the land
How could they live the peaceful life of a common woman and man?
They couldn't stand in the welfare
line when all they had left was a dime
Asking forgiveness and praying the
Lord redemption for all of their crimes
Kitchie and Bowie were kids on the run
running as fast as the wind
Run, run, Bo, run
and don't let them catch you again
Kitchie and Bowie were 45 miles away from the borderline
Freedom was close but oh that night
fortune was not on their side
The long shiny barrels of a Texas
patrol froze in the dead of the night
Kitchie and Bowie's dying bed was laid in the pale moonlight
Kitchie and Bowie died on the run they'll never go back to the can
Run,
run,
Bo,
run and don't let them catch you again
