Run Down Road

She rolled in slow with the dust on her boots

Asked for a song with a little bad truth

I hit a chord and the whole room swayed

Like old regrets never really fade

Hey now, you burn then go

Leave me singing to the open road Hey now,

I know that glow Comes in wild and

leaves me cold

I keep the glass and the last word warm You hit my

heart like a midnight storm

Down by the county line the jukebox groaned

You danced one turn like you owned the smoke

I tried to laugh but the grin sat wrong

Some people leave before the night is gone

Twelve bright wires and a weathered hand

Trying to hold what I can't command

If love rolls by like a train at night

I still chase sparks in the fading light

Hey now, you burn then go

Leave me singing to the open road Hey now,

I know that glow

Comes in wild and leaves me cold Raise a glass to the

hearts that roam

Some loves shake you and never come home

You burn then go

Still I sing to the road
