Verse 1
Em 
The other kids called him Conejo
A 
Em 
E 
D 
'cause he was fast on his feet
E 
Em 
And he was quick with his fists
if he had trouble in the streets
A 
D 
But when his old man would hit the bottle,
Em 
E 
he'd kick Conejo's ass
Em 
So with a wounded heart Conejo
swore he'd out run his past

He  boxed lightweight at the Olympic
down in dirty old L.A.
E 
D 
Em 
And he earned his Golden Gloves by put ting
sixteen fighters away
E 
But the seventeenth one nailed him
Em 
and blinded his left eye
So with busted fingers and a battered brain,
E 
he kissed the ring goodbye

E 
He was singing in a barroom on the
Em 
night that we crossed paths
E 
We'd known each other all our lives
D 
E 
Em 
but finally met at last
Then we ran these highways twenty years
E 
Em 
fueled by beer and nicotine
E 
From New York to Nogales
Em 
and every joint in between

Run Conejo Run
Em 
E 
He told me his life story,
Em 
E 
his joys and his regrets
From the hot streets of Tucson to
A 
Em 
a cold prison in Quebec
F# 
D 
From his ex- wives and old lovers and
Em 
the promises they believed
To the daughter in Louisiana
that he never wanted to leave
