They Ran

My Morning Jacket · The Tennessee Fire [1999]

somebody stole my lighter.

and where it go'd is higher.

i was another boy,

down in another town.

armed with casino bars,

tight whores and tinseltown.

but i stayed.

oooo.

oh but i stayed.

she had a cigarette

and asked if i had a light.

out it came,

and i gave it to her,

and off into the night.....

his arms were thin,

and off into the night,

they ran.

oooo they ran.

oooo they ran.
