Blood Runs Red

(album: Never Had To Leave - 2022)

I don't need nothing but truth
Double the whiskey and shake
I'm feeling further from you
Feeling the weight of my wait
I'm losing count of the states
Running for 43 days
Anything but an escape
I can't keep up with the pace

Father, Father, let me figure it out
I'm gonna swim in the thick of it now
I can't even tell the difference now

As the sun comes up shining down on the ten
I did too much living and I'm dying again
I guess I lost my head at the Holiday Inn
But my blood run red, my blood run red

As the sun comes up shining down on the ten
I did too much living and I'm dying again
I guess I lost my head at the Holiday Inn
But my blood run red, my blood run

Red
My blood run
Red
My blood run red, my blood run

Give me a shot of the J
Give me a port and a light
I cannot put on a face
Oh, what a prodigal night
I don't want to feel a thing
Hardened and out of my place
I wasn't always this way
I can't keep up with the pace

Father, Father, let me figure it out
I'm gonna swim in the thick of it now
I can't even tell the difference now

As the sun comes up shining down on the ten
I did too much living and I'm dying again
I guess I lost my head at the Holiday Inn
But my blood run red, my blood run red

As the sun comes up shining down on the ten
I did too much living and I'm dying again
I guess I lost my head at the Holiday Inn
But my blood run red, my blood run

Red
My blood run
Red
But my blood run red, my blood run

I don't need nothing but truth
I don't need nothing but you
Don't know why I was afraid
Couldn't let go of the pain
Did too much living and I'm dying again
And I found myself at the altar again
(I was afraid) I need the truth
I don't need nothing but you
(I was alone) I was afraid
Couldn't let go of the pain
Think I found myself at the Holiday Inn
And my blood ran red, my blood ran

Red
My blood run
Red
But my blood run red, my blood run
Red
My blood run
Red
But my blood run red, my blood run
