Runaway Man Songtext
von The Common Linnets

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
