Runnin’ - Live at The Ritz, Raleigh, NC - 10/29/16

We did put out an album, uh, this summer
It's called *Air for Free*
We're gonna play, uh, a few, a few from that
Uh, this next one is one of them
This song is called "Runnin'"
Hope you like it

Movement I

Time to tie myself down to the train track
Gonna relax and try to explain that I
rarely feel alive unless I'm running for my life
'Cause I'm over monsters under the bed
But I've got suspicion in my head
That I've got the cure but I'm not so sure that I've got the cure
So when I hеar that whistle blow (Ooh, ooh)
That's when I know it's time to go

All I can do is run
All I can do is run
All I can do is run
Somеone tell me where to
Someone tell me what from
All I can do is run
Time to tie myself down to the train track
Gonna relax and try to explain that I
rarely feel alive unless I'm running for my life
'Cause I'm over monsters under the bed
But I've got suspicion in my head
That I've got the cure, but I'm not so sure that I've got the cure

Movement II

I can remember the days in my life
When my future looked bright
Back before mom had died
Before I heard dad coughing up blood in his room
And the doctor said "Son, he'll be joining her soon"
And then everything changed
What was bright turned to bleak
'Cause everyone seemed to get sick, 'cept for me
And my dad's final cough, they carted me off
They stuck me in hell and they gave me a cross

And said "Son, the church is all you've got now, got now, son
So give your life to God now, God
My son, I know you're scared, I know you're young
So say your prayers tonight
'Cause nobody's gonna come
'Cause no one loves an orphan"
I got an old wooden village house
And almost every day I'm running 'round the block
I got anything anybody could ever want, yeah it's true
Maybe the cold made me move down south
And I forgot to wind the grandfather clock
I got anything anybody could ever want
So I'm spending my time all on you

I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting myself in your shoes, yeah
And I keep on running, running, running, running,
running, running, running on home to you, yeah yeah yeah

I got an old wooden village house
And almost every day I'm running 'round the block
I got anything anybody could ever want, yeah it's true
Maybe the cold made me move down south
And I forgot to wind the grandfather clock
I got anything anybody could ever want
So I'm spending my time all on you
I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting my hell to good use
I'm putting myself in your shoes, yeah
And I keep on running, running, running, running,
running, running, running on home to you, yeah yeah

Running, running, running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running,
running, running, running on home to you
Running, running, running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running, running, running

Putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting my hell to good use
I'm putting myself in your shoes, yeah
And I keep on running, running, running,
running, running, running, running on home to you
