[Verse 1]
I saw Kansas City and the Midwest
You were long gone
She breathes Kentucky and a slow drag
Hates the city
She brought you home
Wore your coat
And everyone you've ever known
Signed the book inside you'll never get to read
And I say

[Chorus]
Hey, I'm the one that runs away
A counterfeit that tried to leave
In spite, I'm on your side
Back up just a bit and focus in
Taking pictures now you're never in
So stay
Sincerely, a counterfeit runaway

[Verse 2]
She still has your ring on a necklace around her neck
Drinking whiskey
Taking slow drags
I turn up the radio
I'm skipping songs
Your favorite ones
It's me that can't listen
Just hear you singing them
[Chorus]
Hey, I'm the one that runs away
A counterfeit that tried to leave
In spite, I'm on your side
Back up just a bit and focus in
Taking pictures now you're never in
So stay
Sincerely, the counterfeit runaway

[Bridge]
I'm skipping songs
Your favorite ones
It's me that can't listen
I just hear you singing them again

[Chorus]
Hey, I'm the one that runs away
A counterfeit that tried to leave
In spite, I'm on your side
Back up just a bit and focus in
Taking pictures now you're never in
So stay
Sincerely, the counterfeit runaway
