Verse
Darlin' after all this time I still wonder
What it is that makes me this way
The same thing I guess that tore our love a sunder
Keeps me chasing what i'm running from today
Verse
It's a recklessness born from desperation
livin on the edge for too long
falling hard for every sweet temptation
throwing everything away for a song
When I wind up in the early mornin' rain somewhere walkin'
After burning through the night like a bullet from the barrel of a gun
Some ancient old acquaintance corners you and gets to sqauking
And asks you about ole number one
You just tell her last you heard I's still free as a bird
Out there somewhere still on the run
Interlude
Bridge
And you will know that i'm still searching for the answer
When you find this poem on your pillow and whiskey missing from your shelf
And the poem will recall how you told me I's quite a dancer
And it should make it clear to you my dear you weren't so bad yourself
When I wind up in the early mornin' rain somewhere walkin'
After burning through the night like a bullet from the barrel of a gun
Some ancient old acquaintance corners you and gets to sqauking
And asks you about ole number one
You just tell her last you heard I's still free as a bird
Out there somewhere still on the run
Out there somewhere's still on the run
