Run Away

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

I packed one bag before the morning came

The porch light flickered like it knew my name

My mother's voice was steady on the phone

Stay safe she said

Then let me go alone

Pre-Chorus

Some run away

Some stay and fight

Some lose their soul out in the flashing light

Chorus

Don't call me a coward

Don't call me lost

I've seen the fire

I've felt the cost

Don't call me a coward

Don't call me lost

I paid in full for the bridge I crossed

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 2

The highway hummed a low and lonely tune

I traded winter for a rented room

My father taught me how to hold my ground

Then watched me leave without a sound

Pre-Chorus

Some run away

Some stay and fight

Some lose their soul out in the flashing light

Chorus

Don't call me a coward

Don't call me lost

I've seen the fire

I've felt the cost

Don't call me a coward

Don't call me lost

I paid in full for the bridge I crossed

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Bridge

I am not running

I am not hiding

I am not turning back

Not turning back

Chorus

Don't call me a coward

Don't call me lost

I've seen the fire

I've felt the cost

Don't call me a coward

Don't call me lost

I paid in full for the bridge I crossed

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-hmm
