​running back Lyrics by Ashley Cooke

shot in the dark

2022

[Verse 1]
Runnin' back, number forty-nine
You had me from the sidelines
And in the back of a Pontiac
Somethin' 'bout that first time
That puts your walls up when it don't work out
You're still holdin' on to it years from now
I bet you probably put my memory in the ground
[Chorus]
And I've had a few somebody new's
Thought about forever too
But I run away when it gets close to that
'Cause no matter how far down the road
The crazy thing is I know
If you called and said you're missin' what we had
I'd come runnin' back
[Verse 2]
Runnin' back to eighteen
Wonder if that's how you remember me
So dumb, so free
Yeah, sometimes I daydream
About runnin' back into you, homеtown Kroger
Would it still feel like it did?
Just 'cause wе grew up, don't mean we got closure
Ever since, ever since
[Chorus]
I've had a few somebody new's
Thought about forever too
But I run away when it gets close to that
'Cause no matter how far down the road
The crazy thing is I know
If you called and said you're missin' what we had
I'd come runnin' back
[Bridge]
To your car, Black Ice on the rearview
Climb in your lap drivin' home like we used to
Honestly, all you'd need to do is ask
And I'd come runnin' back
Yeah, I'd come runnin' back, oh-oh
[Chorus]
And I've had a few somebody new's
Thought about forever too
But I run away when it gets close to that
'Cause no matter how far down the road
The crazy thing is I know
If you called and said you're missin' what we had
I'd come runnin' back
Yeah, I'd come runnin' back
[Outro]
Runnin' back, number forty-nine
You had me from the sidelines
