How I Ran Lyrics - Earle Stacey

I don't worry about you anymore 

I don't run and lock my door 

Hold my breath and sit real still 

Hoping, praying only you will 

Go away, don't turn the knob 

Only makes me feel like I'm not 

Doing everything I can 

And, I guess that's why I ran 

So, we don't talk much anymore 

Sometimes less only means that much more 

Use to be I'd say the first thing to come along 

But, then again anything I'd say, I'd say wrong 

Nothin' mean meant by anything I say 

Sure am sorry if I ever made it sound that way 

I do only the best I can 

And, I guess that's why I ran 

You say I don't listen to you anymore 

You say you feel like you are ignored 

You say so much sometimes, it's more than I can understand 

You said I couldn't, so I said "Oh, yes I can!" 

But, if I fall, will you pick me up 

Dust off my knees and give me a little nudge 

And, if I ever need you again you just say 

"You know where I am" I ran! 

At least we don't argue anymore 

Well, is that why they call that thing, there, "love and war" 

'Cause in the end nobody won 

Just threw up our hands and said, "well, guess we're done" 

Hey, would you go back if you could 

No, I don't think so, things are looking perty good 

We're too old, we would not stand a chance 

Besides, we've got big plans, and with that I ran 

I ran, how I ran 

I ran as fast 

Oh, as a Gearle can 

I ran, how I ran
