Just Like Me Lyrics - The First Ten Years - Shawn Mullins

She seemed almost demented 

As she frantically repented 

For the crime in which she filled her empty bowl 

It was empty like her soul 

She kneeled inside the confession booth 

And she told that holy man the truth 

But the booth was empty 

It was frozen black as coal 

It was damp and cold 

Where you gonna run to now? 

You lost what faith you had somehow 

Your show is over, don't you know it 

It's time to take a bow 

Where you gonna run to now? 

She spends her nights with lonely men 

And she goes too far every now and then 

But it's her longest running show 

And the oldest job around 

They say she's the best in town 

Baby, where you gonna run to now? 

You lost what pride you had somehow 

Your show is over, don't you know it 

It's time to take a bow 

Where you gonna run to now? 

Now in 5 more years she'll be 23 

In a lot of ways she's just like me 

She gives away her body 

And I, I give away my soul 

We're always searching 

For life's treasures to unfold 

Yeah, we give it all to you 

Yet we have no pot of gold 

So where are we gonna run to now? 

We lost what love we had somehow 

We're on this one way highway 

Until the bitter end 

But where are we gonna run to then? 

So where 

Where are we gonna run to then?
