The Common Linnets

Runaway Man

When I was younger, and all I had to do

Was hold your hand and drink you in and make some time for you

I went stumbling through the darkness of a thousand half-lit bars

I don't know 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

And 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

The key under your doormath, the porch light you left lit

The years dragged on and burned away just like a cigarette

And the price of all those nights was never worth the morning's cost

No, no amount of wishing's gonna bring back what I lost

And now I'm reaching back for something

But I'm coming up with nothing

And 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

And 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
