I’m stuck with these sins I’m hoping maybe time can resolve them I’m a lying, cheating, thieving, coward Just trying to follow Christ I’m hoping He can fix this old dog with new tricks His death is my only device Yeah death is my only device
- Chorus –
I said I needed room to breathe I said I needed to break free Well all that’s true Thought I was running from you Turns out I was running from me
There’s a girl who lives down my street She says the flowers take care of the bees She tells me ‘I’m poor and my daddy’s at war, Oh who’s gonna take care of me?’
Now if history is violence and sex, I’d rather not pay my respects If I’ve caused offense, If I’m too direct I’m just trying to talk some sense I’m politically incorrect I said
La, la, la, la, la, la Running away from me La, la, la, la, la, la Running away from me
I’ve been giving this a lot of thought Who am I and who on earth is God? The answer ain’t kind Or easy to find But by God, it’s the only answer I’ve got Yeah God is the only chance I’ve got
La, la, la, la, la, la Running away from me La, la, la, la, la, la Running away from me
