Lyrics

Runnin’ Away From Home

[Verse 1]

What was I thinkin'?

Flyin' away that night

What was I drinkin'?

Damn near made me lose my mind

Where was I going, what was I doing?

What was I hoping that I'd find?

What was I thinkin'?

Flyin' away that night

[Chorus]

From those bright brown eyes shinin' like the storm settin' fire to the water

That sunrise smile lightin' up that Northwest coastline

That safe place kiss girl, how the hell did I not know?

Walkin' away from you was like runnin', runnin', runnin'

Runnin' away from home

Runnin', runnin'

[Verse 2]

I must've been crazy, trying to let you go

When you were the only one thing my heart has ever known

You were the place I wanna lay my head

Instead I'm layin' down alone

I must've been crazy, tryin' to let go

[Chorus]

Of those bright brown eyes shinin' like the storm settin' fire to the water

That sunrise smile lightin' up that Northwest coastline

That safe place kiss girl, how the hell did I not know?

Walkin' away from you was like runnin', runnin', runnin'

Runnin' away from home

Runnin', runnin'

Runnin' away from home

[Bridge]

I must've been crazy (Runnin', runnin')

What was I thinkin'? (Runnin')

Yeah

[Chorus]

From those bright brown eyes shinin' like the storm settin' fire to the water

That sunrise smile lightin' up that Northwest coastline

That safe place kiss girl, how the hell did I not know?

Walkin' away from you was like runnin', runnin', runnin'

Runnin' away from home

[Outro]

Runnin', runnin', runnin'

Runnin' away from home

Runnin', runnin'

Runnin' away from home

Runnin', runnin'
