Lyrics
Always Ready To Run
You come to love
Like a supermarket
Cruise the aisles
But can never choose just one
Jokers' smile
As you line your pockets
With one foot out the door
Always ready to run
You're stealing hearts
Like an old time robber
Arms out wide
And they never see the gun
Sending notes
Out to those you've clobbered
One foot out the door
Always ready to run
And what are you running from?
What do you plan to do
When you find you're the only one?
Racing through life
Like a super rocket
Silver trail
Dancing cross the setting sun
Love's for sale
And you've learned to hawk it
With one foot out the door
Always ready to run
