Runaways Video (MV)

It was summer time, so I took a shot
You were 17, and made my heart stop
The only other way was to never know

You hid your alcohol in a secret spot,
I was such a wreck, couldn't keep a job
We would run away from all we'd ever known

And I took bullets for you
And walked so many miles, girl
To be at the church on your wedding day
And I push back the tears, late at night, tryin' to sleep
When I think of you lovin' that other man

I drank from a glass of poison for you
Nearly lost my sight

I can't lose you

I took the needle on, and lost every bout
You were stealin' from the man
Felt you had the right
Those were reckless days, and I felt so low

But my thirst was still runnin' strong, for your lovin' cup
When that kid who rode the rails, came and picked you up
One thing I couldn't shake
The way he looked at you

And I took bullets for you
And walked so many miles, girl
To be at the church on your wedding day
And I push back the tears, late at night, tryin' to sleep
When I think of you lovin' that other man

Mistakes of the past are poison
And I aint done much right

But I did with you
