Thinking back and counting all of the hurtful things that I said 

When we laid back on that hill

My heart was open wide but my tongue betrayed 

The story I wanted to tell

​

You knew what I needed, You knew what I loved

But I couldn't see it for myself 

Now the road beats me down, the sun dries me out 

Afraid I don't have much time left 

​

Well the wheels keep on turning in my head and on the road 

As I watch my sad story unfold 

I try to find a station, try to find some comfort there 

But the words just get tangled in my hair 

​

Now I'm in this small town thats full of tumbleweeds 

That remind me of what I have become 

The sheriff stares me down, the preacher looks away 

Broken hearted and still on the run 

​

Still on the run

Still on the run

On the run 

​

Im gonna fill up my take and make another round 

Get on down the road and find what needs to be found 

The A/C is broken and its hot in this old car 

But I got the rag top down and I'm aiming for the stars 

Gonna aim for where you are 

Gonna aim for where you are 

Where you are 

​

In a few days when I drive 

Across the county line I'll call you and I'll make that last turn

Im hoping you don't mind if I light another fire

Cause this time I'm ready to burn 

​

Still on the run

Still on the run

On the run 

​

My heart was open wide but my tongue betrayed 

The story I wanted to tell

​
