How was I to ever know it could get so bad
run around heartless
run around heartless

Tried to make it to the coast when I moved out west
I ran around angry
I ran around angry

I remember the flames in the grass how they dance in a line
As the fire swept across the prairie
it was on to burn ours eyes
It was so cold leaving the comfort of my Missouri home
And my childhood left me so broken man that I didn't know
We were coming out even
We're coming out even

I don't recall all things in the throes of the night
It never occurred to me it always just heard me
Don't be appalled with the fall it didn't hurt that bad
I've hit the ground harder
I've hit the ground harder

And I want to feel something honey
Hey I want to feel something good
If everythings leaving me wanting
Ah then damn baby then it should
Run around tender
Run around tender
