On The Run

[Verse 1]

I lit a burning log

Left food out for the dogs and tiptoed down

I put my shoes on by the door

Those creakin' wooden boards didn't make a sound

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll be thinkin' of you, love

I'll be missin' your sweet touch

But I've got far to go

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm on the run

I've been standin' still for way too long

I wanna live like I'm forever young

Tryna hold it down just ain't no fun

I'll pack a bag and leave before the sun

And I'll take the long windin' roads

And when they call, blame it on rock and roll

Start again, forget the things I've done

If they ask you where I've gone, I'm on the run

(I'm on the run, I'm on the run)

[Verse 2]

You've been a little lost

Workin' round the clock toein' 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

[Chorus]

Come on the run

'Cause you've been standin' still for way too long

Life's too short to not live while you're young

Tryna hold it down just ain't no fun

Let's pack a bag and leave before the sun

And we'll take the long windin' roads

And drive up to the lochs I used to know

You can buy a postcard, write it to your mum

Sayin' you miss her, but for now, you're on the run

(I'm on the run)

[Outro]

Try to hold me down, oh, I'll go on the run (Go on the run)

Let's leave this town tonight, come on the run (Come on the run)

We could spend our lives on the run
