Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real - Running Away Lyrics






I don't give a damn about money
When push comes to shove
'Cause when all it leaves me
It's just you and I who remain
It's a dire situation when all
Of the nation is broken
I'll be thinking of you
When the last of us slide down the drain

And the angels have schedules to keep
So I won't keep them waiting
I'll find every way that I can
To get back to you

I need to stop running away
From people I love
I need to start looking for
People who love me the same
And the love that I live for
Is one I can't let slide away
And I need to remember the love
That you gave me today

One night I woke up
With the stars in my eyes like a headache
I felt all their twinkling
Burning like fire in my brain
Though the night sky was clear
All around me my tears fell like raindrops
I was so high I was looking
Right down at my pain

And the angels have schedules to keep
So I won't keep them waiting
I'll find every way that I can
To get back to you

I need to stop running away
From people I love
I need to start looking for
People who love me the same
And the love that I live for
Is one I can't let slide away
And I need to remember the love
That you gave me today

  1. S.... W....

    Willie can still rip on that guitar!! : ) Absolutely LOVE this song. I just can't express how it makes me feel so good and nostalgic. : )

  2. P.... d....

    Protest Rockwall Texas coming soon shoot a cop the bird day flip off every cop you see Rockwall Texas

  3. s.... n....

    what is this? a love song or an ad for weed? i'm confused. you even have a close-up shot of the weed in case people dont pick it up in the lyrics.

  4. B.... T....

    Weed is something Willie has passed down to his son. Wow! An entire life of thinking of others first and I know because I had seen it second hand. I was connected to those who always received Willie Nelson's generosity. Now it's time for Willie to fall in love with Jesus and make that be the last thing he leaves behind for his kids. Replace weed with Jesus. It should be easier now Willie since you quit weed for health problems.

  5. C.... A....

    I can’t express how moved I am, in your songs with you and your father... they touch me in ways that one cannot express in words just lKnowledge of our experiences.... I’m lucky like you to have that bond shared between two lives that are not only priceless but live on even when all physicalness is no longer....I just want to say, even if you don’t read this that, someone out there feels your passion shared between .... keep it alive... that’s all we can do...

    Sounds gentle on my mind by Glenn Campbell

  45. H.... O....

    And cool

  46. H.... O....

    This man is a big star great song

  47. M.... M....

    Their is nothing like a Son and Father being best friends at all. Kids today don't understand nothing about family or values. They are all sorry when their Dad's Die...................

  48. R.... H....

    I love your smile Kid! Your love of music and your Dad radiate through the screen and touch this old boy’s heart.

    I think you’ll ride this crazy roller coaster ride, called ‘life,’ well if you don’t believe the ‘Mountain tops’ or ‘Valleys’ are permanent.

    Invest in friendship.
    Love easily.
    Laugh like your’e 9 year’s old.
    Fall in love with your eye’s closed and heart open.
    Pick up the tab for those who will never be in a position to return the favor.
    Be worthy of your Dog’s love.
    Make fun of yourself but rarely others.

    And don’t worry about what name you call God or which book or building she/he inhabits ...
    but do bow your head, give thanks even if the cupboards bare, and always give an open hand whatever change ya got - it might be his.

    Your Music can only grow to the depths you have loved, cried, laughed, struggled and marveled in awe.

    Don’t hold ANYTHING back except envy, greed and extreme anger.

    Final words from this old Coot: if you ever get to Central Virginia let me buy you a beer and the best drinking food ever made. If you ever get to Bozeman, let me know and I’ll see that my daughter does the same there.

    I’ll hope to see you down the trail

  49. h.... c....
