on the run

by brendan philip mccusker

verse 1

i got your letter yesterday

the postman dropped it off 

but i left it in the rain

red ink came running off the page

i couldn’t read your message 

but the penmanship looked great

chorus

and no i don’t want you to know

the reasons you were right when i was wrong

so save your breath and lemme show you how it’s done

out on the run 

verse 2

i won’t be coming back for more

you make it look so easy 

but it’s harder to ignore

knock knock knock knocking on the door

you wanted me to battle 

but i won’t join in your war

chorus

and no i don’t want you to know

the reasons you were right when i was wrong

so save your breath and lemme show you how it’s done

out on the run
