She Had To Run

(альбом: I Travel On - 2018)

She took her hand from her pocket and raised it
Trying to flag down the first car she saw
She knew nothing could worse than what she was leaving
Around her eyes looked like coal
But she knew that the only thing
She could do was just keep on breathing

She had to run, she had to run
Get out as fast as she could
She knew the next time he'd do
What he always said he would

She was shaking when she got in that car
She said "I don't care where you were going
"Just don't stop 'til I can't see this place anymore"
And as hard as she tried
She still broke down and cried
Harder than she'd ever cried before

She had to run, she had to run
Get out as fast as she could
She knew the next time he'd do
What he always said he would

Something like that'll stay with you
No matter how much time's gone by
And I still see her face in a crowd every now and then
See, I gave her that ride
Stopped for gas, walked inside
Came back out, never saw her again

She had to run, she had to run
Get out as fast as she could
She knew the next time he'd do
What he always said he would

She had to run, she had to run
Get out as fast as she could
She knew the next time he'd do
What he always said he would
