A Million Ways to Run Lyrics by Terri Clark

The Long Way Home

2010

In the basement of the church
I took the last chair in the room
Embarrassed and ashamed
But that all began to change
When she stood up and spoke her truth
She said I came here years ago
When I lost my sanity
I hit an all-time low
But then I found serenity
I took shelter hiding from the pain
In any place to make it go away
In the arms of a stranger
Keeping company with danger
Or staring down the barrel of a gun
At the bottom of a bottle
Getting numb with every swallow
'Cause it's easy, when it's what you've always done
With a million ways to run
I was the first one out the door
But her words echoed in my head
I took the long way home
But no longer felt alone
'Cause I'd lived everything she said
I thought about lost moments of my past
And then I knew, there was no going back
To the arms of a stranger
Keeping company with danger
Or staring down the barrel of a gun
The bottom of a bottle
Getting numb with every swallow
'Cause it's easy, when it's what you've always done
With a million ways to run
There's a freedom I have found
In staying on the ground
Long enough to chase those demons down
And I thank God I know I'm not the only one
With a million ways to run
