Lyrics

G Am
Couple wrong turns
G Am
And I'm back on that road
G Am
Thought I'd learned
Em
Shoulda knowed

Nothin surer
Than the Law of Murphy
Nothin harder
Than easy money

CHORUS
Am
Stare at the rearview
F
Convince myself
G
I'm heading back to you
Am
Stead of straight to hell

Am
White lines pulling me
F
Into the night
G
Till your memory
Am
Fades from sight

Been on the inside
I ain't going back
So I'll run without lights
Throw em off the track

Thought we had dreams
Start all over
Now nothin but sirens
And running for cover

CHORUS

But no matter how fast
No matter how long
Just can't get past
That fate I was born

You'll go on
Have you a life
And I'll keep running
Hiding from light

And I'll...
CHORUS x 2
