Just another young man living a simple life
Like all the other boys in town
You came along, sang me a song
Turned my whole world upside down

My mama was a schoolteacher
Taught me to read and how to write
My father played guitar, came home late from seedy bars
And him and Mama got in a fight...

That's why I'm running back to you
Guess that's one thing I will always do
I keep running back to you

I'm gonna leave this town, all my bags are packed
I can't stand another day
He is getting out of control
And I'm the one who's gonna pay

Well, girl I never should have run to you
Do what you wanna with your life
I'm wasted, confused, I don't have much to lose
I only got this pain and strife

And now I'm running back to you
Guess that's one thing I will always do
I keep running back to you

Tonight I'm running back to you
I know that's one thing I will always do
I keep running back to you...
