Runner Songtext
von Daniel Romano

i′ve been called a runner
i always leave my place
racing to another
another town, another face

the road's become my lover
gasoline fuels my soul
and i came back to your town
i′d just as quickly go

so don't you rely on me
'cause i won′t be there for you
no woman i′ve found can slow me down
and i'll die before i do


the day i left my mother
my hands were smooth and small
she warned me then about my ways
but her words i can′t recall

it was something about running
and killing of my pride
don't think of it that often
i never made the time

so don′t you rely on me
'cause i won′t be there for you
no woman i've found can slow me down
and i'll die before i do

they found me in the gutter
off the highway seventeen
i was going back to my hometown
when i slipped into a dream


i was lying by my mother′s side
when these words she spoke to me
"from the ground the nest cannot be found
by a bird with a broken wing"
