Midnight Runaway

Rollin' like a ghost I'm a midnight runaway Back against the wall Now I ain't got no other way out Just gotta make it somehow Speeding like a car In a bank heist getaway Chasin' down a dream That I can't seem to ever wake from Don't bet on morning to come Sweat me like a dog In a blacktop heat wave Bloody up my nose And expect me to smile and behave Sit, smile and behave Oooh but when I pick up the pieces There's no peace of mind Only way I'm runnin' Is out of time This town's a dust-dream dyin' Gotta leave it behind That little girl She got a hold on me Her snapshot on the dash ridin' shotgun Keepin' me company Flyin' down the highway she's smilin' at me Drifting like an ember On a campfire breeze I don't know where it's blowin' But I'm goin' just as far as she'll take me A drifting burnin' debris Momma I tried I tried to do right But I can't understand Just why, just why, why I ain't Why I ain't right But when I pick up the pieces There's no peace of mind Only way I'm running Is out of time This town's a dust-dream dyin' Gotta leave it behind Leave it behind Leave it behind Leave it behind Livin' in and out of pocket Like a roadside prophet with my My pockets inside-out Moan blue collar-blues And swear I paid my dues but I I still ain't figured it out I gotta move it on Ooooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh Ooooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh Ooooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh Ooooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh Ooooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh Ooooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh Ooooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh Ooooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh When I pick up the pieces There's no piece of mind Only way I'm runnin' is Out of time This town's a dust-dream dyin' Gotta leave it, leave it, leave it Gotta leave it behind Leave it behind Gotta leave it behind Gotta leave it behind Gotta leave it behind Leave it behind Gotta leave it behind Gotta leave it behind
