ON THE RUN

WORDS AND MUSIC COPYRIGHT 2018 GLEN MURSCHEL

THE GENERAL MOTOR ROARS THROUGH THE NIGHT
CUTTING FOG THAT CLINGS TO THE EARTH
LIKE THE STEEL OF THE SURGICAL KNIFE
I WONDER ABOUT MY LIFE (I WONDER)

I CAN BARELY SEE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS
SOARING THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE
I SEE NO BILLBOARDS NOR TOURIST SITES
SUCH IS MY LIFE

PRE-CHORUS
THE ENGINE SCREAMS LIKE A HORSE THAT RUNS WILD
MACHINE AND MAN ARE NOW AS ONE
DRIVING ME FORWARD LIKE SOME HELL’S CHILD
THE DEVIL’S GOT ME ON THE RUN

CHORUS
ON THE RUN
ON THE RUN
ON THE RUN

SOLO

THE NIGHT IS BLACK AS COAL AND INK
IS THE DAY REALLY SO FAR AWAY?
NO TIME FOR FEAR I CAN HARDLY THINK
BUT THE LORD SHOWS ME THE WAY

PRE-CHORUS
I’VE ONLY ONE THOUGHT ON MY MIND
AS I SLOW THE OLDSMOBILE DOWN
TO GET HOME TO MY LOVE I’LL SOMEHOW FIND
THE DEVIL’S GOT ME ON THE RUN

CHORUS
ON THE RUN
ON THE RUN
ON THE RUN

I’M ON THE RUN
ON THE RUN
ON THE RUN
I’M ON THE RUN
