Running and Running

We are nothing without the things and people we run from

Lord I’ve been runnin’ away from home

The beaches are fine, the sand is warm

But I don’t belong here anymore

 

Lord I’ve been runnin’ away from her

She’s beautiful, she makes me laugh

But I don’t know what I’d do if she got hurt

 

Lord I’ve been runnin’ away from work

They pay me well, and don’t make me sweat

But I loathe the hours that pass too slow

 

Lord I’ve been runnin’ away from friends

We have so much fun, and share our burdens

But this crowd I run with is going the wrong way

 

Lord I’ve been runnin’ since I was young

It makes me feel free, I can be my own ruler

But, alas, I am a ruler of nothing!
