Runner

Where did all the love go, the day is done
Night grows like an amaranth
Leaves the back light on when she wants some
He waits with his collar on

Her gaze makes his head spin
Lost love, must've had a twin
Time's a little brittle, be gentle
Better never let it go

Born and raised in Memphis, eccentric
Life tuned to the blues
Met her at a motel, cleaning
Chlorine pools for a room

Always been a runner, sixteen
Took daddy's caddy to the coast
With a long gun, a sharp tongue
A bullet in her past

Up n gone, let her run
Don't think she don't want your loving
Up n gone, let her run
Don't think she don't want your love

She sparkles in the neon, bright lights
Summer heat makes her body move
He was pretty gritty, Mississippi
Heartbeats dance by the muddy stream

Makes a high living, fast love
Flying by like a honeymoon
Cold feet on the southern shore, she's free
Took his money and his mind

Up n gone, let her run
Don't think she don't want your loving
Up n gone, let her run
Don't think she don't want your love
