A Million Ways To Run

In the basement of the church.

I took the last the chair in room

Embarrassed and ashamed,

but that all began to change,

when she stood up and spoke her truth.

She said I came here years ago,

when I lost my sanity,

I hit an all time-low,

I found but then serenity.

I took shelter hiding from the pain, in any place

to make it go away.

In the arms of a stranger

keeping company with danger,

or staring' down the barrel of a gun

At the bottom of a bottle,

getting numb with every swallow,

it's easy, when it's what you've always done,

With a Million Ways to Run

I was the first one out the door

But her words echoed in my head

I took the long way home

but no longer felt alone

Cause I'd lived everything she said

I thought about lost moments of my past

And then I knew, there was no going back.....

To the arms of a stranger

Keeping company with danger

or staring' down the barrel of a gun

The bottom of a bottle,

Getting numb with every swallow

Cause it's easy, when it's what you've always done

With a Million Ways to Run

There's a freedom I have found

In staying on the ground

Long enough, to chase those demons down....

And I thank God I know I'm Not the only one,

with A Million ways to run.....
