Running Got too close to the fire And the flame burned too hot Now you’re out there in the night Lookin’ for another shot You’re back on the run baby Back on the run. Like the glint of a pistol Shining in the sun Fear filled your heart And you were back on the run While fog filled your head Back on the run, baby Who’s gonna save you When you warm up to the heat? When the cross around your neck Brings you to the brink of defeat Because you’re back on the run Don’t turn around – just run! © 2010 Dayvid Graybill

You have me peeping through webs and corners Dayvid
I place my wooden nickle given by a stranger
at the tavern wheel...I'll take a double shot
of rattle snake and not waste the venom...
on the run..."Running" moves me where smoked filed bars,
juke boxes w/45's and bar stools overlooking
pool tables offered comfort for all
the lonely hearts learning about that bottle & packing iron
Run Wild & Free
