Runaway Lyrics by JP Harris

Sometimes Dogs Bark at Nothing

2018

[Verse 1]
I wanna go to a new town
One with no memories hangin' around
And nothin' there to drag me down
But my own cross that I've made
And find work down at the Labor Ready
It ain't good, boys, and it ain't steady
But I can leave any time I'm ready
Any day now I'll draw my pay
[Chorus]
I was born a runaway
Leaving comes natural, that's what they say
I guess I never had the mind to pay
To stayin' nowhere long
[Verse 2]
Primer grays and sun-bleached golds
The motor's tired but the air blows cold
Turn her down some desert road
And redline it 'til she's done
[Verse 3]
Gettin' on down at the local bar
Tellin' lies on an old guitar
No last names, no Christmas cards
No one wonderin' where I've gone
[Chorus]
I was born a runaway
Leaving comes natural, that's what they say
I guess I never had the mind to pay
To stayin' nowhere long
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I was born a runaway
Leaving comes natural, that's what they say
I guess I never had the mind to pay
To stayin' nowhere long
[Outro]
I was born a runaway
After fourteen years, I did one day
I guess I never had the heart to stay
And do right by my wrongs
