Once I was the running kind,
I'd run these interstates.
Now I'm running home, if you're waiting there.
Once I was the loving kind,
and I thought your heart would be all mine.
I learned in good time that it could never be,
like dams and trees and honeybees.
We are a dying marine.
I'm going to live way up in the holler.
Can't stay in the city no more.
Working all my life trying to make a dollar.
Wish things were how they were before.
I'm going to sweep you off your feet.
I'm going to take you to higher ground.
We can dance the night away.
We ain't got a fool around.
Slow down daisies,
long highways,
they keep me feeling alone.
Wish I was high and somewhat
dry in my underground home.
These Nashville cats in Ariat hats leave a sour taste in my
mouth.
Like daddy said,
you better keep your head and nose shut that mouth.
Like dams and
trees and all southern melodies.
You know we are a dying marine.
I'm going to live way
up in the holler.
Can't stay in the city no more.
Working all my life trying to make a
dollar.
Wish things were how they were before.
I'm going to sweep you off your feet.
I'm going to take you to higher ground.
We can dance the night away.
We ain't got a fool around.
Like dams and trees and honeybees.
We are a dying marine.
I'm going to live way up in the holler.
Can't stay in the city no more.
Working all my life trying to make a dollar.
Wish things were how they were before.
I'm going to sweep you off your feet.
I'm going to take you to higher ground.
We can dance the night away.
We ain't got a fool around.
