Keep On Running

I heard you knocking at my back door
You said your family's gone
And you can't help me anymore
I heard you knocking, I heard you say
It's not funny that things have to turn out this way

I broke out into the night
For something out of sight
Kept moving faster
Decisions I made, losing you to the narrowing light
I always loved you
You knew I always loved you
Oncoming traffic, fading into...

The end of the world
You know I'll keep on running
We gotta get out of here
Before the cops start coming

I held a job for a while
To keep you happy
To keep you laughing
I knew it wasn't enough
I could not keep acting tough
And I would find you
Just the way I raised you
Those pale green eyes, burning into...

The end of the world
You know I'll keep on running
We gotta get out of here
Before the cops start coming

It's the end of the world
You know I'll keep on running
We gotta get out of here
Before the cops start coming

I heard you knocking at my back door
You said your family's gone
And you can't help me anymore
I heard you knocking, I heard you say
It's not funny that things have to turn out this way

It's the end of the world
You know I'll keep on running
We gotta get out of here
Before the cops start coming
