The runner

Hard times as we go
We know what times will change
I talked to Jesus
Jesus says I'm okay

Pushing and jumping
Jumping the mountain range
Burning up railroad
Railroad from Hell to Maine

While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers, taking blame
Awful sick and tired of the game

She comes from nothing
Hoping for a trace of fame
She's got a birthmark
A birthmark the shape of Maine

While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking number, taking blame
Awful sick and tired of the game

And it's cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're nearing the bottom
Cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're
near
Cold when you're nearing the bottom

Hard times as we go
We know where times will change
I talk to Jesus
Jesus everyday

Hard times as we go
