Sometimes I Gotta Run
I've been in an awkward situation
Strange hotel room at 2 a.m
You'd think I'd learned before
Then I'd go and do it again
If I didn't get caught the first time
You'd think it would be my last
Lessons I'm slow to process
Others seem to pick up fast
I've been known to do something foolish
Once in a while, something dumb
If I'm lucky, I walk away
Sometimes, I gotta run
Sitting at the end of the bar
She gave me that come on look
Few words were spoken
That was all it took
When we got to where we were going
It was a setup, I should have known
Two dudes waiting on the dead end street
I'd been better off staying at home
I've been known to do something foolish
Once in a while, something dumb
If I'm lucky, I walk away
Sometimes, I gotta run
When I'm chased by the devil
And the law's hot on my trail
What I've said, what I've done
Or a woman on my tail
If I'm lucky, I walk away
Sometimes, I gotta run
I've been known to do something foolish
Once in a while, something dumb
If I'm lucky, I walk away
Sometimes, I gotta run
Strange hotel room at 2 a.m
You'd think I'd learned before
Then I'd go and do it again
If I didn't get caught the first time
You'd think it would be my last
Lessons I'm slow to process
Others seem to pick up fast
I've been known to do something foolish
Once in a while, something dumb
If I'm lucky, I walk away
Sometimes, I gotta run
Sitting at the end of the bar
She gave me that come on look
Few words were spoken
That was all it took
When we got to where we were going
It was a setup, I should have known
Two dudes waiting on the dead end street
I'd been better off staying at home
I've been known to do something foolish
Once in a while, something dumb
If I'm lucky, I walk away
Sometimes, I gotta run
When I'm chased by the devil
And the law's hot on my trail
What I've said, what I've done
Or a woman on my tail
If I'm lucky, I walk away
Sometimes, I gotta run
I've been known to do something foolish
Once in a while, something dumb
If I'm lucky, I walk away
Sometimes, I gotta run
