lyrics
Got my ticket and I’m waitin’ for the train to take me.
Don’t care where just hope it takes me far away.
Know that all’s I need is will, know I can’t keep standing still.
Gettin’ lost had never seemed a problem.
As long as there is somewhere else to go.
If I never stop to stall, am I ever lost at all?
Need to keep on runnin’
know the man’ll still keep gunnin’
for a chance to break my spirit
I can hear ‘em close behind.
Finally I look back and see
that there is no one chasin’ me
A race against myself where I am bound to lose my mind.
Roses keep on calling me to linger.
Say it’s best to always heed the call.
How’s someone to be the best.
When they’re stoppin’ with the rest.
Pull away, resume the steady pace.
Bow to all the others and accept my fate with grace.
Always try and stay ahead.
If I’m movin’ I ain’t dead.
I can’t remember why I went.
Lost all my chances to repent.
Guilt’s stoppin’ me from tryin’ to live.
If only I could just forgive. Just forgive.
Just forgive.
Need to keep on runnin’ know the man’ll still keep gunnin’ for a
Chance to break my spirit I can hear ‘em close behind.
Finally I look back and see that there is no one chasin’ me
A race against myself, a race against myself.
A race against myself where I am bound to lose my mind.
Don’t care where just hope it takes me far away.
Know that all’s I need is will, know I can’t keep standing still.
Gettin’ lost had never seemed a problem.
As long as there is somewhere else to go.
If I never stop to stall, am I ever lost at all?
Need to keep on runnin’
know the man’ll still keep gunnin’
for a chance to break my spirit
I can hear ‘em close behind.
Finally I look back and see
that there is no one chasin’ me
A race against myself where I am bound to lose my mind.
Roses keep on calling me to linger.
Say it’s best to always heed the call.
How’s someone to be the best.
When they’re stoppin’ with the rest.
Pull away, resume the steady pace.
Bow to all the others and accept my fate with grace.
Always try and stay ahead.
If I’m movin’ I ain’t dead.
I can’t remember why I went.
Lost all my chances to repent.
Guilt’s stoppin’ me from tryin’ to live.
If only I could just forgive. Just forgive.
Just forgive.
Need to keep on runnin’ know the man’ll still keep gunnin’ for a
Chance to break my spirit I can hear ‘em close behind.
Finally I look back and see that there is no one chasin’ me
A race against myself, a race against myself.
A race against myself where I am bound to lose my mind.
