Dating was my favorite pastime
Seeing all the bases that I'd
Hit til the home run
Taking her home once
Living fast and running red lights
Downing half a case of red stripe
Avoiding emotion
Had a couple of close ones
But she done gave me a run for my money
She might make me wanna settle down
And quit the runaround
I've run wild like the Mississippi
Run up tabs til the glass was empty chasing fun
Had a real good run
And I've run hard like a Chevy engine
Til I'd run out of gas and women
I was young
But I've grown up
Cause eventually we all run out of time
So before you let that girl walk out your life
You better run
Crazy how your whole perspective
Changes off of one connection
I fell for the wrong ones
But not in the long run
She's seen my before and after
So I felt compelled to ask her
What made you trust me?
She said my love just runs deep
She done gave me a run for my money
She might make me wanna settle down
And quit the runaround
I've run wild like the Mississippi
Run up tabs til the glass was empty chasing fun
Had a real good run
And I've run hard like a Chevy engine
Til I'd run out of gas and women
I was young
But I've grown up
Cause eventually we all run out of time
So before you let that girl walk out your life
You better run
