Easier To Run Lyrics

There's a red bird sittin' on the power line

It's just mama telling me I'm gonna be fine

He might've broken my heart but I kept my pride

It's easier to run than it is to fly

Cowboys they don't hang their hats up long

Kick of a spur and he's good as gone

Should've known by the shape his boots were in

He was gonna be a ramblin' man

He'll rope you in but he won't let you go

And time moves by oh so slow

When you're hoping he's coming back around

To breathe new life into this ghost town

He ain't ever gonna change his mind

It's easier to run than it is to fly

I took one look at his western sky

And thought about leaving everything behind

Well he fooled me once but he won't get me twice

It's easier to run than it is to fly

He'll rope you in but he won't let you go

And time moves by oh so slow

When you're hoping he's coming back around

To breathe new life into this ghost town

He ain't ever gonna change his mind

It's easier to run than it is to fly

On and on and on

The days keep passing by

I don't care where he's at

As long as he's not on my mind

There's a red bird sittin' on the power line

It's just mama telling me I'm gonna be fine

He might've broken my heart but I kept my pride

It's easier to run than it is to fly

It's easier to run than it is to fly
