Wore a hand me down from his old man
And a scar on his lip I could feel when mine pressed his
Held my tattered heart in his calloused hands
But to the touch, a gentleman, me oh my
But I already knew his kind
He's gonna run till he reaches the red in that horizon
And I can't stop him
Gonna chase every inch of lightnin'
Just darin' one to strike him
He's a hot-headed son of a long line of leavin' her behind
So I played with fire and held that loaded gun
Then I let him run
Like an angel fightin' bloodshot eyes
He brought a wild to my quiet side
Like a ragin' river tryin' to slow itself down
He doesn't know he's not made of settle down
So he's gonna run till he reaches the red in that horizon
And I can't stop him
Gonna chase every inch of lightnin'
Just darin' one to strike him
He's a hot-headed son of a long lineof leavin' her behind
So I played with fire and held that loaded gun
Then I let him ruuuuu-uuuu-n
Ruuuuu-uuuu-n
Didn't plead with the goodbye in his eyes
Cause the only way to keep mine dry
Was to let him run till he reaches the red in that horizon
And I can't stop him
Till he chases every inch of lightnin'
Darin' one to strike him
He's a hot-headed son of a long line of leavin' her behind
Yeah, he's a hot-headed son of a long line of leavin' her behind
So I played with fire 'n held that loaded gun
Then I let him run
Yeah, I let him run
