The Longer I Run

Peter Bradley Adams

When my blood runs warm
With the warm red wine
I miss the life that I left behind
But when I hear the sound of the blackbirds cry
I know I left in the nick of time

Well, this road I'm on is gonna turn to sand
And leave me lost in a far-off land
So let me ride the wind till I don't look back
Forget the life that I almost had

If I wonder till I die
May I know who's hand I'm in?
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin' my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin' my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin' again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin' my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin' my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin' again

Tell my brother
Please, not to look for me
I ain't the man that I used to be
But if my savior comes, could you let him know?
I've gone away for to save my soul

If I wonder till I die
May I know who's hand I'm in?
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin' my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin' my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin' again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin' my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin' my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin' again

Losing again

The longer I run
I'm losing again
Losing again
