Runaway Man
When I was younger
All I had to do
Was hold your hand and drink you in
Make some time for you
I went stumbling through the darkness
Of a thousand half lit bars
I don't now what I was running from, but I must have run too far
Now I'm reaching
Back for something
But I'm coming
Up with nothing
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
Key under your doormat
The porch light you left lit
The years dragged on burned the way just like a cigarette
The grise of all those nights
Never worth the morning's cost
Oh, no amount of wishing is gonna bring back what I lost
And now I'm reaching
Back for something
But I'm coming
Up with nothing
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
All I had to do
Was hold your hand and drink you in
Make some time for you
I went stumbling through the darkness
Of a thousand half lit bars
I don't now what I was running from, but I must have run too far
Now I'm reaching
Back for something
But I'm coming
Up with nothing
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
Key under your doormat
The porch light you left lit
The years dragged on burned the way just like a cigarette
The grise of all those nights
Never worth the morning's cost
Oh, no amount of wishing is gonna bring back what I lost
And now I'm reaching
Back for something
But I'm coming
Up with nothing
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
God have mercy on a runaway man
