I wanted the charactor to be real. There's a little bit of her in all of us. Fiction, but, this is a composite of people I've known over the years.
Lyrics
RUN AWAY
She was never married, three months a child was carried
God must've had another plan, lost the child, gone the man
Family ties all severed, like her small town she is weathered
Nothing to keep her here, not even the want to persevere
.....Where would you like to go (she thinks)
Anywhere but here, maybe sow those last few oats
Heaven on earth is what she aims to find
And she's just about ready for these thoughts to leave her mind
-Chorus-
She's been living in her head,
'Cuz nothing on the outside is worth a look ahead
She promised herself that would change today
One can never be too old... to RUN AWAY
-Bridge-
In books she's read of the damsel in distress
Who... finds her place in the sun
Not since she was 12 years old, has she felt the need to run
If only it was still just for fun
-Chorus-
She's been living in her head,
'Cuz nothing on the outside is worth a look ahead
She promised herself that would change today
One can never be too old... to RUN AWAY
She's gonna run away...
One can never be too old...
One can never be too old...
... Too run away
