Running Back

I still hate

out of state license plates

driving way too slow

And I’ll be damned

if beach sand

in reef sandals don’t get old

When you’re

from there I swear

it gets cold on the gulf coast

By eighteen

my dream was full of gasoline

and I was ready to go

I was running running running running for a way out way too fast

But there was nothing nothing nothing nothing green as that Seminole grass

I’ve been everywhere, breathing big city air, but nowhere compares to that

place I was running running running running from

It’s got me running back

To my mama\'s

talkin’ drama

over coffee and key lime pie

And every Sunday

daddy daughter dates

he would bring home a bouquet and I’d

Drive a thousand miles

just to stay see a while

now I can\'t remember why

I was running running running running for a way out way too fast

But there was nothing nothing nothing nothing green as that Seminole grass

I’ve been everywhere, breathing big city air, but nowhere compares to that

place I was running running running running from

It’s got me running back to

Dancing in the sunset to a cover band rhythm

On the board walk in my rolled up denim

I\'d give anything

oh anything

To be running running running

I was running running running

I was running running running running for a way out way too fast

But there was nothing nothing nothing nothing green as that Seminole grass

I’ve been everywhere, breathing big city air, but nowhere compares to that

(Nowhere compares to that)

place I was running running running running from

It’s got me running back

Cause I was running running
