Runaway man

When i was younger, and all i had to do Was hold your hand and drink you in and make some time for you I went stumbling through the darkness of a thousand half-lit bars I don’t know what i was running from, but I must have run too far Now I’m reaching back for something But I’m coming up with nothing And it’s a long long way from where i was to where i am God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man The key under your doormat, the porch light you left lit The years dragged on and burred away just like a cigarette And the price of all those nights was never worth the morning cost No, no amount of wishing’s gonna bring back what I lost And now i’m reaching back for something But i’m coming up with nothing And it’s a long long way from where i was to where i am God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man And it’s a long long way from where i was to where i am God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man
