If You Run

Hey, now, everybody crowd 'round, somethin' you should know

Fast break, always a mistake when you got nowhere to go

You can lie for the honey, lie for the wealth

You can lie to each other, but you better never lie to yourself

No sign of any second mind, what she had she gave

Red hand with another man, there's no one here to save

She started out like most of the ville

Heart full of dream, a head full of nothin'

If you run, you better have a place to go

If you run, ooh

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Hang tight, you're runnin' through the moonlight, waiting on her charms

Deep scars fading in the stars, fading in each others arms

He took me down to his hiding place

Always bringing back his dust on his face

Stones throw, tappin' at the window, fools with no plans

Slow wine, broken by design, the good or be goddamned

You think you left it all behind

You're chokin' on the weeds, you strung it on the vines

If you run, you better have a place to go

New age, burnin' of the page, a brand new dream to sell

Aim far from who you really are, and is just as well

You lie for the honey, you lie for the wealth

You lie to each other, ain't gonna lie to myself

If you run, if you run

If you run, you gotta have a place to go
