Run Away Road

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Border wire at four in the morning

I packed one bag and a busted radio

They said my name on the evening news

So I move where the headlights do not go

Pre-Chorus

Run run through the olive rows

Run run where the cold wind blows

They want me quiet they want me gone

Chorus

I am the man they hunt tonight

I am the man who will not kneel

Hunted by a man with a podium voice

But the road is mine and the road is real

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

The road is mine

Oh-oh oh-oh

The road is mine

Verse 2

Sand in my teeth at the checkpoint line

A boy with a rifle asked where I was from

I lied in a language I barely knew

And the gate swung wide like a loaded gun

Pre-Chorus

Run run past the razor fence

Run run it makes no sense

He wants me silent I want to live

Chorus

I am the man they hunt tonight

I am the man who will not kneel

Hunted by a man with a podium voice

But the road is mine and the road is real

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

The road is mine

Oh-oh oh-oh

The road is mine

Bridge

Trumpets on the far hillside

Organ humming low and slow

I forgive him I forgive him

That is all I have to hold

Chorus

I am the man they hunt tonight

I am the man who will not kneel

Hunted by a man with a podium voice

But the road is mine and the road is real

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

The road is mine

Oh-oh oh-oh

The road is mine
