The Common Linnets Runaway Man song lyrics

When I was younger

All I had to do

Was hold your hand and drink you in

Make some time for you

I went stumbling through the darkness

Of a thousand half lit bars

I don't now what I was running from, but I must have run too far

Now I'm reaching

Back for something

But I'm coming

Up with nothing

It's a long long way from where I was to where I am

God have mercy on a runaway man

God have mercy on a runaway man

Key under your doormat

The porch light you left lit

The years dragged on burned the way just like a cigarette

The grise of all those nights

Never worth the morning's cost

Oh, no amount of wishing is gonna bring back what I lost

And now I'm reaching

Back for something

But I'm coming

Up with nothing

It's a long long way from where I was to where I am

God have mercy on a runaway man

God have mercy on a runaway man

It's a long long way from where I was to where I am

God have mercy on a runaway man

God have mercy on a runaway man

God have mercy on a runaway man

God have mercy on a runaway man
