The moon was in the crescent phase
like a dagger in the sky
a friend offered me a thousand bucks
to drive his Beemer down to the borderline

and I was spitting distance
over into Mexico
low rider come screaming by
shotgun blast shattered my window

    now I'm running for my life
    don't know who from, where or why
                                                it's all so crazy, should be funny
                                                    but I ain't laughing cause I'm too young to die

I smoked my last filterless
and my needle's popping E
don't much matter how much
                        farther or faster
cause them boys is catching me

    now I'm running for my life
        don't know who from, where or why
            it's all so crazy, a big mistake
        but they don't care that I'm too young to die

                Lord I never asked for much
                but I always did believe
                and I could use a miracle
                if you've got one up your sleeve

They've taken out my tires
and I'm skating sparks on rims
I'm dying for a thousand bucks
that I'll never spend

        yeah I'm running for my life
            don't know who from, where or why
                just tell my ma, that I'm sorry
        just a big mistake cause I'm too young to die
