Just another young man living a simple life

Like all the other boys in town

You came along, sang me a song

Turned my whole world upside down


My mama was a schoolteacher

Taught me to read and how to write

My father played guitar, came home late from seedy bars

And him and Mama got in a fight...


That's why I'm running back to you

Guess that's one thing I will always do

I keep running back to you


I'm gonna leave this town, all my bags are packed

I can't stand another day

He is getting out of control

And I'm the one who's gonna pay


Well, girl I never should have run to you

Do what you wanna with your life

I'm wasted, confused, I don't have much to lose

I only got this pain and strife


And now I'm running back to you

Guess that's one thing I will always do

I keep running back to you


Tonight I'm running back to you

I know that's one thing I will always do

I keep running back to you...
