It’s the end of the month
Just need a quick buck
Kind of like a couple of months before
So I’m calling up Mike
A few things in mind
Nothing I ain’t done before

Making the same old run down Purgatory Road
Same old drive, speed limit signs and crooked turns
Last time I’m loaded down before I’m hiding in these hills
Not letting this life weigh me down
I ain’t running
I ain’t running
I ain’t running Purgatory no more

Devil’s Backbone bar
Same dollars on the wall
Not a soul to hear what we were talking about
No prices named
No names exchanged
Same old address to the same old farm

Making the same old run down Purgatory Road
Same old drive, speed limit signs and crooked turns
Last time I’m loaded down before I’m hiding in these hills
Not letting this life weigh me down
I ain’t running
I ain’t running
I ain’t running Purgatory no more

Hand on my ‘45 when I saw those lights
Though I was doing everything just right
Guess the devil knows when he’s gonna lose your soul
Comal county knows when I fold

Making the same old run down Purgatory Road
Same old drive, speed limit signs and crooked turns
Last time I’m loaded down because I’m sitting in this cell
Now these four walls weigh me down
I ain’t running
I ain’t running
I ain’t running Purgatory no more
