What Are You Running From?

Dallas airport terminal

There's turmoil in the rain

Steel caged canopies overhead

Drenching my feet instead of my head

And I run through the corridor to your gate

Praying for delay but we both know it's too late

Have a good flight, little girl



What are you running from?

A home where the sun never shines?

A love that's never on time or blind?

When you get where you're going

I hope you find all you've ever wanted



D.C. tourists in town

Well, hello everyone, here I am

To spend a week in this concrete land

With a chance to meet the President man

And I push through the crowd, right to the ropes

But he's gone on the plane and too are my hopes

Have a good flight, Mr. President



What are you running from?

A home where the sun never shines?

A love that's never on time or blind?

When you get where you're going

I hope you find all you've ever wanted



I gotta get away from this ghost town

No wedding bells or toasts around

I'm outta here this time around



What am I running from?

A home where the sun never shines?

A love that's never on time or blind?

When I get to where I'm going

I hope you're there cause you're all I ever wanted
