Running Shoes

I’ll keep wearing these running shoes 'til I'm all worn out
And they’re no use to me
No use to me
Gunning for a peace from this abuse
'Cause I’m all tired out and I'm no use to you
No use to you
And there’s no rest for the wicked
So I’m screaming and I’m kicking to sleep
To sleep
The beliefs they’re instilling
On the boys, on the children
On me, on me
I’ve been running, I’ve been running for a while
For a while
I’ve been running, I’ve been running for a while
For a while
These running shoes weigh me down
These running shoes are wearing out
This running
Carved his name in the carpet
Right where I spent all of my sleepless nights in that room
In that room
Can’t get his face out of my mind
And God knows that I’ve tried and tried for you
And there’s no rest for the wicked
So I’m screaming and I’m kicking to sleep
To sleep
The beliefs they’re instilling
On the boys, on the children
On me, on me
I’ve been running, I’ve been running for a while
(Running, running)
For a while
(Running, running)
I’ve been running, I’ve been running for a while
(Running, running)
For a while
(Running, running)
These running shoes weigh me down
(I’ve been running, I’ve been running for a while)
These running shoes are wearing out
This running
These running shoes weigh me down
(I’ve been running, I’ve been running for a while)
These running shoes are wearing out
This running
These running shoes weigh me down
Love in America, got me down
Try take off running but hit the ground
(I hit the ground)
These running shoes weigh me down
(I’ve been running, I’ve been running for a while)
These running shoes are wearing out
This running
These running shoes weigh me down
(I’ve been running, I’ve been running for a while)
These running shoes are wearing out
This running
These running shoes weigh me down
