A Million Ways To Run

(album: The Long Way Home - 2009)

In the basement of the church.
I took the last chair in the room
Embarrassed and ashamed,
but that all began to change,
when she stood up and spoke her truth.

She said I came here years ago, when I lost my sanity,
I hit an all time-low,
but then I found serenity.
I took shelter hiding from the pain, in any place
to make it go away.

[CHORUS]
In the arms of a stranger
keeping company with danger,
or staring' down the barrel of a gun
At the bottom of a bottle,
getting numb with every swallow,
it's easy, when it's what you've always done,
With a Million Ways to Run

I was the first one out the door
But her words echoed in my head
I took the long way home
but no longer felt alone
Cause I'd lived everything she said
I thought about lost moments of my past
And then I knew, there was no going back.....

To the arms of a stranger
Keeping company with danger
or staring' down the barrel of a gun
The bottom of a bottle,
Getting numb with every swallow
Cause it's easy, when it's what you've always done
With a Million Ways to Run

[BRIDGE]
There's a freedom I have found
In staying on the ground
Long enough, to chase those demons down....

And I thank God I know I'm Not the only one,
with A Million ways to run.....
