"Before They Make Me Run" lyrics

Before They Make Me Run

Worked the bars and sideshows
Along the twilight zone
Only a crowd
Can make you feel so alone
And it really hit home

Booze and pills and powders
You can choose your medicine
Well, here's another goodbye
To another good friend

After all is said and done
Gotta move while it's still fun
Oh, let me walk
Before they make me run

After all is said and done
I gotta move, it's still fun
I'm gonna walk
Before they make me run

Watched the taillights fading
There ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking
As I left town

Gonna find my way to heaven
Cause I did my time in hell
Oh, yeah
I wasn't looking too good
But I was feeling real well

After all is said and done
I gotta move, I had my fun
Let us walk
Before they make us run

After all is said and done
I did alright, I had my fun
And I will walk
Before they make me run

I will walk
Before they make me run

After all is said and done
I gotta move, I had my fun
Let me walk
Before they make me run
Let me walk
Before they make me run

I'm gonna walk
Before they make me run
