Lyrics
You keep on running boy
Leave me behind
Place each foot with careful precision
'Cause there ain't no looking back
And if you want to go fast
Don't stray too far from the beaten track
You'll move slower if you are different
There's more folks in your way
So do your work behind the scenes
And be careful what you say
And don't ever stop running
If you slow down for even a second
If you close your eyes to sleep
Those demons will catch up to you
And you will fall in deep
So don't, don't stop, don't rest
Don't have no free time
You've always been fast enough
To leave your troubles in the dust
And don't ever stop running
'Cause if you do everything you've ever left behind
Will catch up to you and you will have to realize
There's not a single soul on earth who has the stamina
To run for their whole lives
You can keep pretending living in the fast lane
Is any different then driving in a getaway
But you're no tourist, you're just on the lamb
And you won't ever stop running
You keep on running boy
But I can't keep up
You can't slow down for anyone
So you drag them along
But they're not fast as you
So they don't last very long
'Cause they're not wanted, not like you are
They don't know the stakes
They just hold you back
And trip you up, and get in the way
So you can let me go
Stay straight on your path
All I did was love you
But I'm tired of running
So I can just go home
Wouldn't you love that?
I can't fix you so stay alone
And stay fast
Run, Run
You keep on running boy
Run out of time
You keep on running boy
Leave me behind
