The Longer I Run - Peter Bradley Adams
When my blood runs warm
with the warm red wine
I miss the life that I left behind
But when I hear
the sound of the blackbirds cry
I know I left in the nick of time
Well this road
I'm on's gonna turn to sand
And leave me lost in a far off land
So let me ride the wind
til I don't look back
Forget the life that I almost had
If I wander til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again
The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to
keep singing these rhymes
And losin again
The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to
keep singing these rhymes
And losin again
Tell my brother please not to look for me
I ain't the man that I used to be
But if my savior comes could you let him know
I've gone away for to save my soul
If I wander til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again
The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again
The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime

Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again
Losing again
The longer I run
I'm losing again
Losing again
