Midnight Run Lyrics

I been talkin' to your friends about you

But nobody's seen you around

The city's gettin' colder and harder these days

I think we need to get out of this town

The telephone rings but you never pick up

I don't even know if you're home

Time's running short and I gotta get out

But I don't think that I can do it alone

I got a little dream about buyin' some land

I know you never thought that I would

But my bags are all packed

It's just you that I lack

I'd already be gone if I could

We'll drive till we see the stars again

Where the air is clean and the skies are clear

Where the city can't reach out and break your heart

And I can catch my breath and dry your tears

I know that you're scared and I'm asking' a lot

But I'm beggin' you to trust me tonight

Don't bother to pack just throw your cat in the back

And we'll be gone before the mornin' light

You were just a girl with an open heart

And I was just a guy with a plan

But things got a little lost along the way

And I'm doin' the best that I can

This city has claws and it sinks 'em deep

All the way inside of your soul

It'll drive you crazy when it gets in your head

And takes away your self control

They built this city on broken dreams

It's a monster that will eat you alive

Now I gotta get out but I'm not leavin' without

The one I know I need to survive

We'll drive till we see the stars again

Where the air is clean and the skies are clear

Where the city can't reach out and break your heart

Where I can catch my breath and dry your tears

I know that you're scared and I'm asking' a lot

But I'm beggin' you to trust me tonight

Don't bother to pack just throw your cat in the back

And we'll be gone before the mornin' light

There's blood on my shoes I got nothin' to lose

As long as you're along for the ride

We got plenty of gas to put this place in the past

I need to know that you're on my side

I got a bag full o' money in the trunk of my car

You really shouldn't ask me how

I'm a man on the run with a loaded gun

And it's too late to turn this around

You came to the city just a wide eyed girl

You never let 'em break your stride

But their smile never cracked

When they were stabbin' your back

And I burned 'em all for makin' you cry!

We'll drive till we see the stars again

Where the air is clean and the skies are clear

Where the city can't reach out and break your heart

And I can catch my breath and dry your tears

I know that you're scared and I'm asking' a lot

But I'm beggin' you to trust me tonight

Don't bother to pack just throw your cat in the back

And we'll be gone before the mornin' light
