[Verse 1] When I was younger And all I had to do Was hold your hand and drink you in And make some time for you
[Verse 2] I went stumbling through the darkness Of a thousand half lit bars I don't now what I was running from But I must havve run too far
[Pre-Chorus] And now I'm reaching Back for something But I'm coming Up with nothing It's a long long way from where I was to where I am God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man
[Verse 3] The key under your doormat The porch like you'd left lit The years dragged on and Burned away just like a cigaret
[Verse 4] The grise of all those nights Never worth the mornings cost And oh no a my wishings It's gonna bring back what I lost
[Pre-Chorus] And now I'm reaching Back for something But I'm coming Up with nothing It's a long long way from where I was to where I am God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man
[Outro] It's a long long way from where I was to where I am God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man God have mercy on a runaway man
