Lyrics

Room to Run
©2003 Tim Wheeler

Walked out this morning, looked out over my “yard”
Figured out where they came up with the name
Looked out over the neighbors, and the ones beyond
‘cept for the ‘casional swingset, pretty much the same

(but there is) 
No Room To Run
Caught behind these fences
Spending all my time in beds that I’ve tended before
No Room to Run
Paying my expenses
But I get the feeling that I could do much more 
if there was Room To Run.


Settled Monday Morning into my Aeron Chair
Surveyed my plush, expansive Cube
Whenever I get restless or slip into despair
I think I could be back at the Jiffy Lube

(but there is)
No Room To Run
Stuck behind these stone walls
Doing just enough to not get fired
No Room To Run
Take another phone call
This is not at all what I desired
No Room to Run

Spent all those Sunsets
Building up the walls, the roof, a floor
Only to discover
I forgot to build windows… or a door

I stepped out this morning
Walked to the back of my yard
Climbed the fence and looked at the meadow beyond
Something ‘bout the open space made me love this human race
And forget the things I had held so fond

No Room To Run
Gonna get some new tools
For tearing down these walls that block my way
No Room to Run
Burning down the old schools
The ones that teach that we will be OK
With No Room To Run
