Took my shot now the echos run wild
I did that man like he done my child
Heu0027s lying there bleeding on the kitchen floor
Just like I did a dozen times before

I grew up on some backfill swamp
All woods and dirt, no city pomp
Moved up and out when I hit 18,
But got dragged right back, this placeu0027s in my genes

Iu0027ve been running too long
Iu0027ve been running too long
Iu0027ve been running too long
Ain't nobody gonna write my song.


God knows that girl never done me wrong,
But I wronged her plenty 'til she got strong
And one day he spun to take me on,
I laid him down where he belongs.

Iu0027ve been running too long
Iu0027ve been running too long
Iu0027ve been running too long
Ain't nobody gonna write my song.
