Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album tumbleweed connection<br><br>I pulled out my stage coach times<br>And I read the latest news<br>I tapped my feet in dumb surprise<br>And of course I saw they knew<br>The pinkertons pulled out my bags<br>And asked me for my name<br>I stuttered out my answer<br>And hung my head in shame<br><br>Now they've found me<br>At last they've found me<br>It's hard to run<br>From a starving family<br>Now they've found me<br>Well I won't run<br>I'm tired of hearing<br>There goes a well-known gun<br><br>Now I've seen this chain gang<br>Lord I say let me see my priest<br>I couldn't have faced your desert sand<br>Old burning brown backed beast<br>The poor house they hit me for my kin<br>And claimed my crumbling walls<br>Now I know how reno felt<br>When he ran from the law<br><br>Now they've found me<br>At last they've found me<br>It's hard to run<br>From a starving family<br>Now they've found me<br>Well I won't run<br>I'm tired of hearing<br>There goes a well-known gun<br><br>Now they've found me<br>Lord I say at last they've found me<br>It's hard to run<br>From a starving family<br>Lord I say now they've found me<br>Well I won't run<br>I'm tired of hearing<br>There goes a well-known gun<br><br>Lord I say now they've found me<br>At last they've found me<br>It's hard to run<br>From a starving family<br>Now they've found me<br>I won't run<br>I'm tired of hearing<br>There goes a well-known gun
