The Longer I Run Songtext
von Peter Bradley Adams

When my blood runs warm with the warm red wine
I miss the life that I left behind
But when I hear the sound of the blackbirds cry
I know I left in the nick of time

Well this road I′m on's gonna turn to sand
And leave me lost in a far off land
So let me ride the wind til I don′t look back
Forget the life that I almost had
If I wonder til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I′ll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin′ my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin' my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again


The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin′ my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin' my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again

Tell my brother please not to look for me
I ain′t the man that I used to be
But if my savior comes could you let him know
I've gone away for to save my soul
If I wonder ′til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I′ll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin′ my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin' my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin′ my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin' my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again
Losing again


The longer I run
I′m losing again
Losing again
