Heard the Burton Cummings version and thought to myself that it would be a great country song....did some searching and found this. Nice work. This song deserves another reboot from another country artist
Lyrics Break it to them gently When you tell my mom and dad When you see my baby sister Be as kind as you can Break it to my grandma Said the boy's wild and bad Break it to them gently When you tell them That I won't be coming home again Chorus Cause I'm running with a gun And it isn't any fun as a fugitive Fighting for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive God I wanna come home Lord I wish I was home When you see my lady With that twinkle in her eye Tell it to her softly And hold her if she cries Tell her that I love her And I will til the day I die Break it to her gently When you tell them That I won't be coming home again Chorus Cause I got in too deep With strangers Thinking they could help me Find my way But nobody warned me Out of danger And it always the young and foolish That have to pay Break it to them gently When you tell my mom and dad Thank them for the good years And all the loving that I had Break it to my grandma Who says that boy's wild and bad Break it to them gently When you tell them That I won't be coming home again Chorus Cause I'm running with a gun And it isn't any fun as a fugitive Yeah I'm fighting for my life And I don't know if I'll make it alone I'm running with a gun And it isn't any fun as a fugitive God I wanna go home God I wish I was home Gotta break it to them gently Really try to roll it Gotta break it to them gently Gotta really try to soothe it You gotta really try to roll it yeah yeah
Sings "Tell her that I love her, and I will till the day I die" about his lady... Hooks up with lady cop at the end of the song. Didn't take him very long to move on, did it?

Lyrics
Break it to them gently
When you tell my mom and dad
When you see my baby sister
Be as kind as you can
Break it to my grandma
Said the boy's wild and bad
Break it to them gently
When you tell them
That I won't be coming home again
Chorus
Cause I'm running with a gun
And it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Fighting for my life and
I don't know if I'll make it alone
Running with a gun and
it isn't any fun as a fugitive
God I wanna come home
Lord I wish I was home
When you see my lady
With that twinkle in her eye
Tell it to her softly
And hold her if she cries
Tell her that I love her
And I will til the day I die
Break it to her gently
When you tell them
That I won't be coming home again
Chorus
Cause I got in too deep
With strangers
Thinking they could help me
Find my way
But nobody warned me
Out of danger
And it always the young and foolish
That have to pay
Break it to them gently
When you tell my mom and dad
Thank them for the good years
And all the loving that I had
Break it to my grandma
Who says that boy's wild and bad
Break it to them gently
When you tell them
That I won't be coming home again
Chorus
Cause I'm running with a gun
And it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Yeah I'm fighting for my life
And I don't know if I'll make it alone
I'm running with a gun
And it isn't any fun as a fugitive
God I wanna go home
God I wish I was home
Gotta break it to them gently
Really try to roll it
Gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to soothe it
You gotta really try to roll it yeah yeah
still one of my favourites
Wicked cover really respect it ✊ 💯
like the fact he didn't change the song
Sings "Tell her that I love her, and I will till the day I die" about his lady...
Hooks up with lady cop at the end of the song.
Didn't take him very long to move on, did it?
nope!
lol
That’s quite the conjugal visit! 😂
I like this cover better than the original :)
Hell no Burton Cummings does far better
