Running Away With Myself

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm going back to my school

I'm going back to my old school

'Cause to tell you the truth

All the suns of my youth

Move this old fool

I'm going back to my suit

I'm going back to my old suit

Though I'm somewhat dismayed

'Cause the cuffs they are frayed

Still it's my best suit

And I woke with a start

And remembered in part

A dream that I'd chased

That I've since laid to waste

Has the love that I'd craved

Somehow got mislaid along the way?

Am I still okay?

I'm running away with myself

Am I still okay?

I'm running away with myself

I'm going back to my youth

I'm going back to my wild youth

Though our trousers were wide

We had soul, we had side

Ain't I the living proof?

I'm going back to my roots

I'm going back to my grass roots

'Cause it's time to re-group

Before spring-heeled we'll shoot on the good foot

And I woke with a start

And remembered in part

A dream that I had back when I was a lad

And the key that I los

To my memory box that got locked away

Am I still okay?

I'm running away with myself

Am I still okay?

I'm running away with myself
