You come home late and you come home early
|
You come on big when you're feeling small
|
You come home straight and you come home curly
|
Sometimes you don't come home at all
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
So what in the world's come over you
|
And what in heaven's name have you done
|
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
|
You're out there running just to be on the run
|
|
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
|
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
|
How can a love that'll last forever
|
Get left so far behind
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
|
It's crossed the evil line today
|
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
|
We ain't got one word to say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Ending:]
|
You're out there running just to be on the run
|
You're out there running just to be on the run
|
You're out there running just to be on the run
|
