lyrics

I’ve been running all my life
But it never crossed my mind
That some folks take it slow
And make it farther down the road
But I never even made it down the drive

I’ve been a fighter all my life
But it never crossed my mind
That I can’t forget the hands
The first touch of a man
And I can hurt you while you look me in the eye

There’s an old white house in the countryside
And it’s time I turned around
To go back for that girl inside
Tell her we’re alright
And hold her tight

Alone, I spend my time
But it never crossed my mind
That I took all the blame
And I have carried all the shame
And I’m terrified you’ll see it in my eyes

I’m going back to make it right
Cause it’s been on my mind
For thirty years or more
She’s been pounding on the door
Hoping someone else would hear her silent cry
But I’m the only one who ever hears here cry

There’s an old white house in the countryside
And it’s time I turned around
To go back for that girl inside
Tell her we’re alright
And hold her tight
