Runaway Man

[Verse 1:]
When I was younger
And all I had to do
Was hold your hand and drink you in
And make some time for you.

[Verse 2:]
I went stumbling through the darkness
Of a thousand half lit bars
I don't now what I was running from
But I must havve run too far.

[Pre-Chorus:]
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.

[Verse 3:]
The key under your doormat
The porch like you'd left lit
The years dragged on and
Burned away just like a cigaret.

[Verse 4:]
The grise of all those nights
Never worth the mornings cost
And oh no a my wishings
It's gonna bring back what I lost.

[Pre-Chorus:]
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.

[Outro:]
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.
