Midnight Run

What makes a man think that he can forget about what used to be
 Be happy with the way life is, not think about what once was his
 Whiskey drunk and under the gun
 I'm taking me a midnight run
 I'm taking me a midnight run
 I'm making another one
 A thousand miles or more I'll drive to where I lived when I thought I was alive
 They'll never know I was ever around
 Just my shadow on the ground
 I turn east to face the sun
 After making me a midnight run
 ♪
 I tell you all 'cause you need to know
 They don't call for me to go
 I hear that voice coming 'cross the miles
 I got no choice but to be gone a while
 I say get in you better lock and load
 Don't let the wind block the road
 I'll be gone but when it's done
 I'm all alone on my midnight run
 I'm taking me a midnight run
 I'm making another one
 A thousand miles or more I'll drive to where I lived when I thought I was alive
 They'll never know I was ever around
 Just my shadow on the ground
 I turn east to face the sun
 After making me a midnight run
