A Fugitive in His Haunted Night

 

A police car parked in front of the house

They say there’s a fugitive in the woods

Bailed out of his truck on a county road

Abandoning his girlfriend to be nabbed

 

Well, poor man, he’s lost his truck and his girl

And gained mosquitoes, snakes, coyotes, heat

A fading MePhone signal, rain, rot, mud

And another three years in a white cotton suit

 

Why?

 

Perhaps, like many another poor soul

He lost his way while searching for elusive Truth
