Still on the Run

Thinking back and counting all the hurtful things that I said

When we laid back on that hill

My heart was open wide but my tongue betrayed

The story I wanted to tell

You knew what I needed, you knew what I loved

But I couldn’t see it for myself

Now the road beats me down and the sun dries me out

Afraid I don’t have much time left

Well the wheels keep on turning in my head and on the road

As I watch my sad story unfold

I try to find a station, try to find some comfort there

But the words just get tangled in my hair

Living in this small town that’s full of tumble weeds

That remind me of what I’ve become

The sheriff stares me down, and the preacher looks away

Broken hearted and still on the run

Still on the run

Still on the run

On the run

I’m gonna fill up my tank to make another round

Get on down the road to find what needs found

The AC’s broken and it’s hot in this old car

But I got the rag top down and I’m aiming for the stars

Gonna aim for where you are

Gonna aim for where you are

Where you are

In a few days when I drive across the county line

I’ll call you and make that last turn

I’m hoping you don’t mind if I light another fire

This time I’m ready to burn

Still on the run

Still on the run

On the run

My heart was open wide but my tongue betrayed

The story I wanted to tell
