Runnin’ free

[Intro]

The days are long, please don't go

I can’t trust myself to be alone

The sun beats down, my wrists burn on the stove

In this lonely '78 motorhome

[Verse 1]

I stay here alone inside

With the Sunday dinner and the summertime flies

Motorcycles rev outside from the backyard screen

I hear them drive off into the night

[Pre-Chorus]

But I know

[Chorus]

If I told him I'll die out here if I stay

He would hold me in his arms

And he’d love it that way

[Verse 2]

Sad teddy bears on the lawn outside

Clean off the mud, hang them up out to dry

Try to sleep to pass the time by

But the dogs in the yard

Keep me up with their cries in the night

[Pre-Chorus]

But I know

[Chorus]

If I told him I'll die out here if I stay

He would hold me in his arms

And he'd love it that way

[Outro]

The days are long, please don't go

I can't trust myself to be alone

It all goes dark, my bangs long overgrown

In this lonely '78 motorhome
