lyrics

Run Girl, Run

She caught a westbound bus down on second street
It was the best damn getaway anyone had ever seen
Just like Bonnie and Clyde way back in ‘33
Sometimes you gotta seize the moment of opportunity
And everyone in town was squinting into the sun
Singin’ Run Girl, Run
Run Girl, Run

Daddy went and threw his hat down on the ground
Kicked it up the street like some old dog that he’d found
You could see the moment that he finally gave her up
Picked his hat up off the dirt and then walked back to the truck
Where momma was starin’ west down 71
Prayin’ Run Girl, Run
Run Girl, Run

Chorus:
‘Cause she knows why the caged bird sings
Though it’s been too many years since she tried her wings
She can almost taste the wind
Feel her life begin again, then
Trouble opens up the door and climbs back in

Momma got a postcard in the mail today
Daddy tore it all to pieces and he threw that card away
But not before we saw the picture on the other side
It said “life’s a beach in California” and it filled us with such pride
‘Cause one day we’re gonna do just want she done
Yeah, Run Girl, Run
Run Girl, Run

Chorus:
Cause she knows why the caged bird sings
Though it took a lot of years of tryin’ fore she found her wings
She can finally taste the wind
See the tides rollin’ in
That bird has flown and she ain’t comin’ back again
Sometimes you gotta run girl run
