lyrics

I grew up in a suburb
It was in Toronto
I didn’t like it, not at all
It didn’t feel like part of the world
I set out to start over on new, foreign, hallowed ground
Born again I promised I would never go back to Runaround Town

I made it to the city
Well Times Square still had porno
Well the bus driver told me
Said, “Kid watch your back
There’s trouble around every corner”
I thought I was in heaven
Bob Dylan Woody Guthrie bound
And Neil Young had also packed up and left Runaround Town

Take me back to the sounds

Early every morning
I’d get up with my guitar
I’d run as far as I could run
From who I was back when I had no choice
I went down to Texas
I put the earth into my sound
Late at night I’d wonder about my old life in Runaround Town

Take me back to the sounds of Runaround Town
That’s all we ever did was run around town
Runaround Town
That’s all we ever did was run around town
I never thought I’d get out

There’s a big old church at the end of my block
At daybreak it’s all that I see
They’ll lay me down at the end of my days
In that big old church next to my baby
I threw them all away - the dreams that once tore me down
But they followed me all the way
Right back here to Runaround Town
