Midnight Run

What makes a man think that he
 Can forget about what use 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 midnite run,
 I'm taking me a midnite run
 I'm making another one
 A thousand miles or more I'll drive
 To where I lived when I thought I was alive
 She'll never know I was ever around
 Just my shadow on the ground
 I turn east to face the sun
 After making me a midnite run
 I'll tell you all because you need to know
 She don't call for me to go
 I hear that voice coming cross the miles
 I have 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 takin 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
 She'll never know I was ever around
 Just my shadow on the ground
 I turn east to face the sun
 After makin me a midnight run
