Runnin' Down The Road
Brother Barry Stone pronounced you married
Sister Sadie played piano as you both walked down the aisle
I stood in line to say congratulations
I shook hands with your husband and I tried my best to smile
Outside the church we said goodbye like old friends
If you felt anything for me ... that day it didn't show
Then you drove away with him to Dallas
Kickin' up the dust down that Oklahoma road
(CHORUS)
I felt like runnin' down the road screamin' like a little kid "I wanna go"
My heart was crying "Why not me" Baby can't you see I need you so
After all the years, After all the tears
You'd think old memories would lose their hold.... they'd let go
But every time I think of you I still feel like runnin' down the road
(INST.)
(BRIDGE)
And I think of you so often that the edges of my mind are torn and frayed
When I think of life without you .. I feel like runnin' down the road to yesterday
(Chorus #2)
I feel like runnin' down the road screamin' like a little kid "I wanna go"
My heart's still crying "Why not me" Baby can't you see I need you so
After all the years, After all the tears
You'd think old memories would lose their hold....They'd let go
But ever time I think of you I still feel like runnin' down the road
Every time I think of you I still feel like
Runnin' down the road
