Runnin’ Lyrics by Leah Blevins

Runnin’

2015

[Verse 1]
Every word of every verse
Every gift and every curse
He's everybody's hero
You act like you're the first
You try to talk just like him
But you can't find the words
Hopin' someday you will find your own

[Verse 2]
You stand up on the stages
Stealin' jokes and turnin' phrases
Drinkin' Bali Hai wine
Till you're too drunk to play
But babe, I know you better than
These bad impersonations
Nobody is better off alone

[Chorus]
If you ever stop runnin'
I wanna be the one you run to
If you find your own song
I wanna be the onе it's sung to
If you stop goin' wrong
And you need someone to hold onto
I might not Loretta
But I can lovе you better
Than any road or any song will do

[Verse 3]
Yeah, your songs are pretty good
But your voice, it ain't impressive
They say singers come from Tennessee
And poets come from Texas
And I'm hopin' you'll come back to me
When you start feelin' restless
I'll give you somethin' you can sing about

[Verse 4]
'Cause it's like pullin' teeth
Gettin' men like you to see
You can ride that ole' freight liner
Just as far as you can dream
But you ain't gonna find it
And I ain't gonna be
Just another Carolina in your song

[Chorus]
If you ever stop runnin'
I wanna be the one you run to
If you find your own song
I wanna be the one it's sung to
If you stop goin' wrong
And you need someone to hold onto
Half as pretty as Kathleen
But hell, I'm just as mean
And she ain't gonna love you like I do

[Chorus]
If you ever stop runnin'
I wanna be the one you run to
If you find your own song
I wanna be the one it's sung to
If you stop goin' wrong
And you need someone to hold onto
I ain't your gypsy Sally
And I ain't your Maureen
And they ain't gonna love you
Half as much as me
