Lyrics
?COME RUNNIN? HOME TO YOURSELF?
YOU CAN RIDE LIKE AN ANGEL
AND RUN LIKE THE DEVIL
CROSS THE SEA JUST TO GET TO AN OCEAN OF PAIN
LET THEIR CRIES DRIVE YOU FAR AWAY
SEARCHIN? FOR SOME OTHER WAY
TRYIN? SO HARD TO ESCAPE TIME AND PLACE
YOU CAN DROWN ALL YOUR SORROWS
LOSE YOUR TOMORROWS
TAKE A DRINK FROM A BOTTLE OF BOTTOMLESS NIGHT
THROW YOUR HEART UP ON THE SHELF
NOTHIN?S EVER GONNA HELP
TILL YOU COME RUNNIN?, RUNNIN? HOME TO YOURSELF
COME RUNNIN? HOME TO YOURSELF
FARTHER THAN YOU?VE EVER BEEN
TURN YOURSELF ROUND TO A PLACE YOU?VE NOT SEEN
THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THE ONLY WAY IN
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
SO NOW THAT YOU?RE HERE, PULL UP A CHAIR
PUT?CHER FEET UP, TAKE YOUR HAT OFF
LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN, REST A SPELL
IT?S OKAY TO SPEND THE NIGHT
YOU?LL BE GONE WITH THE MORNIN?S LIGHT
BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS COME RUNNIN?
ANYTIME CAN COME RUNNIN?
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME RUNNIN?
COME RUNNIN? HOME TO YOURSELF
