I Could Run Away
circa 1993
Written by Jason Moon

The world it ain't perfect it was never meant to be.
There was a time I could open my eyes and still not see.
Time flew by my open window, wishing that the wind would carry me away.
I really ain't that much to look at, but I got a whole lot to say.
Hey, hey, well I could run away.
I know this little spot right in the back of my mind.
Sitting out on My Back Porch and everything is fine.

People try to tell me, all about this and that.
I ain't got no time to waist, wondering where it’s at.
I just take it as it comes and take it as it goes, seasons will change and no one knows.
If I had anything warm to wear lord knows it would not snow.
But I could run away. Yeah I could run away.
I know this little spot right in the back of my mind.
Hanging out with Mrs. May and everything is fine.

Dreams will turn to memories and your memories to pain.
Your crazy if you look in the mirror and think nothings changed.
Well you can't walk, if you can't crawl, and you can't stand until you fall.
I'd love to give you a reason to believe in me, but I forgot them all.
But I could run away. Yeah I could run away.
I know this little spot right in the back of my mind.
Contemplate the American Dream and everything is fine.

Love is just a word that some lonely person said.
While they were walking along with their head in their hands thinking they were better off dead.
And it can take a life to find and then it’s gone in a flash.
When you’re dying on your knees saying, "I can relate to that."
Well you could run away. Yeah you could run away.
I know this little spot right in the back of my mind.
Singing I Wouldn't Mind Dying Now and everything is fine.

I could run away, yeah could run away.
I could run away, I could run away.
