Midnight Run

(álbum: 10 For Slim: Charley Crockett Sings James Hand - 2021)

What makes a man think that he
Can forget about what used to be
Be happy with the way life is
Not think about what once was his
Whiskey drunk and under the gun
I'm taking me a midnight run

I'm taking me a midnight run
I'm making another one
A thousand miles or more I'll drive
To where I lived when I thought I was alive
They'll never know I was ever around
Just my shadow on the ground
I turn east to face the sun
After making me a midnight run

I tell you all cause you need to know
They don't call for me to go
I hear that voice coming cross the miles
I got no choice but to be gone a while
I say get in you better lock and load
Don't let the wind block the road
I'll be gone but when it's done
I'm all alone on my midnight run

I'm taking me a midnight run
I'm making another one
A thousand miles or more I'll drive
To where I lived when I thought I was alive
They'll never know I was ever around
Just my shadow on the ground
I turn east to face the sun
After making me a midnight run
