We came out here to get away
Away from all the folks we've known
And all of our mistakes
Yet we're back again it seems
We're pissin' in the wind and
Messin' up all of our dreams
And if I didn't know no better
I think that ya hate to smile
You couldn't ask for better weather
Ah where ya runnin' child?

The road is long and the road is cold
But there's been weaker men get further on
With half the chords you know
And you're alright yeah, you ain't bad
And I'd give my waitin' whiskey
Just to get my twеnties back
Ah what in the hell's thе matter?
Cryin' to Soldier's Joy
You couldn't ask for tune much nicer
Ah where you runnin' boy?

And home ain't goin' no where
And what makes you believe that'd you'd be happier back there?
You're just runnin' scared
The end will come around in time
And the only thing'll matter is
The way you spent your life
And this ain't no way to breathe
Runnin' through the money
Picking fights out on the streets
Ah what in the hell ya after?
Life or a way to go
You couldn't ask for way much faster
Ah where you runnin' Joe?
