Run

Taylor Swift · Other Songs - Taylor Swift

There's a plane or a bus leaving from Dallas

I hope you're on it

If there's a train moving fast down the tracks

I hope you caught it



'Cause I swear out there beware

You walk free

So catch a ride or catch a cab

Don't you know that I miss you bad

But don't you walk to me



Baby run

Cut a path across the blue sky

Straight in a straight line

You can't get here fast enough

Find your truck and fire it up

Lean on the gas and off the clutch

Leave Dallas in the dust

I need you in a rush

So baby run

So baby run



Oh if you aint got a suitcase

Get a box

Or an old brown paper sack

Pack it light or pack it heavy

Take a truck, take a Chevy

Baby just come back

There's a short cut to the highway out of town

Why don't ya take it

Don't let that speed limit slow ya down

Go on and break it

Baby break it



And run

Cut a path across the blue sky

Straight in a straight line

You can't get here fast enough

Find your truck and fire it up

Lean on the gas and off the clutch

Leave Dallas in the dust

I need you in a rush

So baby run



Run to me

Baby run

Run to me

So baby run

Run

Oh baby run

About Run

Taylor Swift's "Run" stands as a pivotal moment in her evolution from country-pop to polished pop, marking her departure from the narrative-driven sound of her earlier albums.

The song features a minimalist arrangement that allows Swift's vocals to take center stage, delivering a raw and intimate performance that resonates deeply with listeners. Musically, "Run" bridges the gap between her storytelling roots and the synth-pop aesthetics she would fully embrace in subsequent work. It reflects a period of artistic refinement where Swift focused on crafting universal themes of heartbreak and self-discovery. The recording showcases her ability to blend personal experience with broad appeal, creating a timeless track that remains a staple in her discography. Its enduring popularity underscores its effectiveness as both a solo statement and a collaborative effort within her broader body of work.
