Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How was I to ever know it could get so bad?
Run around heartless, run around heartless
Tried to make it to the coast when I moved out west
And I ran around angry, I ran around angry
[Verse 2]
I remember the flames in the grass, how they danced in a line
As the fire swept across the prairie it was on to burn our eyes
It was so cold leaving the comfort of my Missouri home
And my childhood left me so broken, man that I didn't know
We were coming out even, we're coming out even
[Refrain]
Woo-woo, ooh-oh
Woo-woo, ooh-oh
[Verse 3]
I don't recall all things in the throes of the night
It never occurred to me, it always just heard me
Don't be appalled with the fall, it didn't hurt that bad
I've hit the ground harder, I've hit the ground harder
[Refrain]
Woo-woo, ooh-oh
Woo-woo, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
[Bridge]
And I want to feel something, honey
Hey, I want to feel something good
If everything's leaving me wanting
Ah, then damn baby then it should
Run around tender
Run around tender
[Refrain]
Woo-woo, ooh-oh
Woo-woo, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
