You might say it was inspired by a Neil Young song.

My gun spoke once and the twice
All that remained was the cold Stare Of their eyes
My woman was loving another man
Him being a friend of mine was more than I could stand
Hope you don't catch me Johnny Law
I'm running away from it all
I never done anything like that in my life
Until my friend laid his hands on my wife
Standin' alone in the pouring rain
I'm out on the night road I'm running away
Wish one of these truckers stop and give me a ride
Get me somewhere south here baby where I can hide
Hope you don't catch me Johnny Law
I'm running away from it all
I never done anything like that in my life
Until my friend laid his hands on my wife
Hungry in a truck stop south on forty one
Five hundred miles from where my trouble begun
If I can just get south maybe Alabam
I could start over a new free man
Hope you don't catch me Johnny Law
I'm running away from it all
I never done anything like that in my life
Until my friend laid his hands on my wife
