Running Start

Two planets aligned, they were ready to climb That ladder stretching to the sky With a love so young as the night is long Well a running start can sure run wild Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake She took it just a little too far It was all he could take 'til he made his break He left her in the dark Down with a broken heart She came down with a broken heart Now he pushed on, he was playing his song Driving on a rock and roll dream But she couldn't stay strong, with the chords all wrong So she packed away to try to get clean Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake She took it just a little too far It was all he could take 'til he made his break He left her in the dark Down with a broken heart She came down with a broken heart Well all her friends said she'd pull through In familiar phrase and fair-weather rhyme No one heard from her, they hadn't a clue They all suspected she might've let go the line Two planets aligned, they were ready to climb That ladder stretching to the sky With a love so young as the night is long Well a running start can sure run wild Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake On her breaks at the back of the bar It was all he could take, might've made a mistake Left her in the dark Down with a broken heart She came down with a broken heart She came down from a running start
