runaway

Had a blast from the past today And he asked me how I was doing The conversation slipped away When he told me he'd been using He said "I'm trying hard to figure out, Was it the drugs Or was it the love She stole from me, Runaway." I said "Man I'm sorry to hear that And that you spent some time in prison." He said "Man I'm trying hard to get back To them brighter days of living." He said "I''m trying hard to figure out Was it the drugs Or was it the love She stole from me, Runaway. Runaway Man I can't have you next to me All my pain that you can see Runaway." He took one more drag from his cigarette And he blew the smoke away He said "Man don't you ever forget You'd be me If you would have stayed."
