Runaway Girl
Written by Ken Stringfellow
Runaway girl
See what happens to you, see what strangers do
Runaway girl
Just because we’re through
Runaway girl
Who knows, it’s a big world I suppose
Runaway girl
Male sure the door’s closed
Just because you’re not mine
You think you’re gonna be fine
Runaway girl
See what happens to you
Runaway girl
To another man, hope you got a plan
Runaway girl
Just as fast as you can
Runaway
Who knows, who knows, it’s a big world I suppose
Runaway girl
Make sure the door’s closed
It’a a big mean world when you face it on your own
It’s a cold cold night when your little girl’s all alone, all alone
It’a a big mean world when you face it on your own
It’s a cold cold night when your little girl’s all alone, all alone
Runaway
Who knows, who knows, it’s a big world I suppose
Runaway girl
Make sure the door’s closed
Just because you’re not mine
You think you’re gonna be fine
Runaway girl
See what happens to you
See what happens to you
See what happens to you
Him Or Me

Hanging Song
Written by Ken Stringfellow and Pat Fear
Yeah I killed a man
And I deserve to hang and die
But hear me story and my last request
And please don’t ask me why
I swear I did what he asked me
Pulled the cord right around his neck
Rode him to the black horizon
He never rode back
He never rode back
So walk me past the gallows
Where my neck would break my fall
Out to the lonely hanging tree
Where I can end it all
There’s no pleasure in killing
Abnd dying’s no happy sung to be song
But some men find pleasure the closer they come
And I would confess to be one
Put me under the tree
And I spare my horse; he gets to go free
But I stay behind to hang and sway
And feel the blackness coming for me
So walk me past the gallows
Where my neck would break my fall
Out to the lonely hanging tree
Where I can end it all
Keep On Trying
