If You Run

One, two [Verse 1] Hey, now, everybody crowd 'round Something you should know Fast break, always a mistake when you got nowhere to go You can lie for the honey, lie for the wealth You can lie to each other but you better never lie to yourself No sign of any second mind What she had, she gave Red hand with another man There is no one here to save She started out like most of them: Heart full of dreams, a head full of nothing [Chorus] If you run, you better have a place to go If you run, ooh Run, run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run, run [Verse 2] Hang tight, she running through the moonlight Waiting on her charms Deep scars fading in the stars Fading in each other's arms He took her down to his hiding place All he's bringing back is dust on his face Stone's throw, tapping at the window Fools with no plans Slow wind, broken by design Be good or be goddamned You think you left it all behind? You're choking on the weeds, you're strung out on the vine [Chorus] If you run, you better have a place to go [Verse 3] New age, burning of a page A brand new dream to sell Ain't far from who you really are And it is just as well You lie for the honey, you lie for the wealth You lie to each other, ain't gonna lie to myself [Chorus] If you run, if you run If you run, you gotta have a place to go
