RUNAWAY

Oh Jimmy why did you do it? What is it that makes you burn the people that love you. I was always in your back pocket each time you went too far. I pulled you off the tracks when the train came by; I pulled you from the water when the big waves rolled in; I took the driver's wheel when you couldn't see the road; I took the pain when you took her love and you...you just ran away. Running down the streets and it's past midnight Coming down to earth again Stunning and just foolish at the same time Young and so he's taking no blame CHORUS Oh, you run your road Jimmy, where are you gonna go Take out your money but you never pay You just run away Spent his last few bucks on smokes and matches Sent a note to Mom and Dad Can't believe he's headed down the highway Bent on bein' boy gone bad CHORUS From the north end of the steel towns to the south end of the world All the young boys throw themselves on the rocks just to be heard Believing their invincible, they act as though they were All those boys, all those rocks all those broken hearts that burn CHORUS Now he is out there in the distance How will he ever return Prodigal son just like the others Oh we just never learn All songs Copyright © 1995, All Rights Reserved.
