On the Run

I lit a burning log Left food out for the dogs And tip toed down I put my shoes on by the door Those creaking wooden boards Didn't make a sound I'll be thinking of you love I'll be missing your sweet touch But I've got far to go Cause I'm on the run I've been standing 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 I'll take the long winding roads And when they call, blame it on rock n roll Start again, forget the things i've done If they ask you where I've gone I'm on the run You've been a little lost Working round the clock Towing 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 Come on the run Cause you've been standing still for way too long Life's too short to not live while you're young Tryna hold it down just it ain't no fun Let's pack a bag and leave before the sun We'll take the long winding roads And drive up to the lochs I used to know You can buy a postcard, write it to your mum Saying you miss her But for now you're on the run Try to hold me down Oh I'll go on the run Let's leave this town tonight Come on the run We could spend our lives on the run
