lyrics

Running Away From Home

I would run down the driveway
As a little girl
Out through the front gate
Down to the open road

And my momma would call out
Through the kitchen door
Come back soon
Before it gets dark
Lord knows what you're lookin' for

I was always
running away from home
Always turned my heart away
Into the unknown
I was always running away from home
Turn your back on me
And I'd be gone

Now I've run to the end of the endless road
Sleep in the daytime
Caught in the undertow
And there's no-one to call on the telephone, and say
Come back soon
Before it gets dark
I love ya and I need ya home

Cause I'm always
running away from home
Always turn my heart away
Into the unknown
I'm always running away from home
Turn your back on me
And I'll be gone

Well you can look for yourself
In the clubs and the bars
You can hide in a church
Or behind your job
A child's eyes or a shooting star
Near's the same as far
Some day you're gonna wanna change
Some day you're gonna wanna say
Sweet Lord Jesus, can I come home?

But I'm always
running away from home
Always turn my heart away
Into the unknown
I'm always running away from home
A restless heart, bound to roam
Destined to be on her own
Turn your back on me and I'll be gone
