Song Lyrics

You come home late
And you come home early
You come on big
When you're feeling small
And you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all
So what in the world's come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there runnin'
Just to be on the run
Well, I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and jealous mind
Well, how can a love
That will last forever
Get left so far behind?
So what in the world's come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there runnin'
Just to be on the run
It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow
That crossed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't got one word to say?
So what in the world's come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out there runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out there runnin'
Just to be on the run
