Run with Me — release packages

The repo truck circles at sunrise
Slow as a shark on my dead-end street
I back the Chevy in the shed
One last thing they don't get to keep
I got my jacket I got the keys
Two bald tires and a tank on E
This town keeps asking what we plan to be
I say anything that gets us free

Kick the dust from your Sunday shoes
Leave the porch light swinging loose
Every mile is a borrowed truth
Till it passes by me and you

Run with me past the county sign
Past the mill-town whistle and the warning line
If the world won't bend we'll take the wheel
Find out what our hearts can feel
Run with me, don't look back
There's a sky-wide road past the railroad tracks
I don't need heaven I don't need a plan
Just your hand in my hand
Run with me

Your mother prays at the kitchen sink
For the bills to shrink and the phone not to ring
The church sign says mercy starts today
But the landlord wants the rent last Friday
I hear you laughing under your breath
Like a match struck close to what's still left
We ain't kids but we're not done yet
We got more than debt

Kick the dust from your Sunday shoes
Leave the porch light swinging loose
Every mile is a borrowed truth
Till it passes by me and you

Run with me past the county sign
Past the mill-town whistle and the warning line
If the world won't bend we'll take the wheel
Find out what our hearts can feel
Run with me, don't look back
There's a sky-wide road past the railroad tracks
I don't need heaven, I don't need a plan
Just your hand in my hand
Run with me
Run with me

Maybe tomorrow finds us broke
With coffee in a paper cup and nowhere to go
Maybe the engine quits in the rain
Maybe this road doubles back again
But every chain has a weakest link
Every man gets a minute to think
If hope is a fist and love is the swing
We can still fight for something

Run with me when the morning comes
When the boss man calls, when the money's gone
Run with me through the busted years
With cheap good times and real tears
Run with me while the sun still burns
If we don't try then we'll never learn
I don't need heaven, I don't need a plan
Just your hand in my hand
Run with me
Run with me

Past the county sign
Past the warning line
Run with me
