On The Run

I lit a burning log
Left food out for the dogs
And tip toed down

I put my shoes on by the door
Those creaking wooden boards
Didn’t make a sound

I’ll be thinking of you love
I’ll be missing your sweet touch
But I’ve got far to go

Cause I’m on the run
i’ve been standing still for way too long
I wanna live like i’m forever young
Tryna settle down, it ain’t no fun
Ill pack a bag and leave before the sun
I’ll take the long winding roads
And when they call, blame it on rock n roll
start again forget the things i’ve done
If they ask you where I’ve gone
I’m on the run

I know you hate your job
You’ve been a little lost
Towing the line

You’re in a world you don’t belong
Tryna find your way back home
But you could stay a while on the passenger side
There’s books to read and songs to write

If you wanna leave this town
I could turn the car around
You could say your goodbyes
Get outta here tonight

Go on the run
Cause you’ve been standing still for way too long
Life’s too short to not live while you’re young
Tryna hold it down just it ain’t no fun
Let’s pack a bag and leave before the sun
We’ll take the long winding roads
I’ll take you to the lochs I used to go
You can buy a postcard, write it to your mum
Sayin you miss her
But for now you’re on the run

Tryna hold me down
Oh I’ll go on the run
Let’s leave this town tonight
Go on the run
We could spend our lives on the run
