Run, run, run

Run for your life

My baby I can’t deny

my long lasting love for you

who knew you would leave

after seven long, hard years

brought me back to the bottle

can’t drink the pain of losing you

away long enough for me to get some rest

the burden of losing you

runs rent free in my mind

don’t know how I can move on

don’t know how you ran from me for so long

without losing your breath

seeing you happy with a little lady

I see y’all are expecting a baby

in May

The weed isn’t strong enough anymore

to make me forgive myself

for every way I wronged you from here to Sunday

I found myself in chapel on my knees, prayin’

God give me you; let me run to you

I ran to Momma’s house past the foot ball field

where we used to run with the dogs under moonlight

and the sprinklers turned on and we would laugh

and kiss and make love on the soaking wet field

and gaze at the stars but not tonight, not anymore

Momma said stop trying, honey, he’s happy now

I call your phone and it goes straight to voicemail

with your little lady’s voice serenading your name

on the answering machine

I wish this weren’t true

I wish you still cared about me with the enthusiasm

that you now love her with.
