Lyrics Rea Garvey – Run For The Border
Text:
She tells no one else
Cause no one can know
Her chance of escape, yeah, her time to go
She can say what she wants
She’s just like a prisoner committed the crime
Her mother says she’s always loud
She needs to give it up and settle down
Her father tried to break their rules
He took on the power lives by the hour
No longer a child
No longer afraid
There’s no turning back her decision is made
She hides from the daylight
Runes from the dark
They’ll know that she’s gone
But she had a good start
And even if they’re right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They’ve been hiding you since 45
You run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
She’s lost in the shadows
She’s losing her mind
Not sure if she’ll make it
She’s searching for happiness
That beautiful life
The pictures and magazines they kept classified
You feel forsaken
Your bodies shaking
As you step up to the starting line
Were you mistaken
Your bodies breaking
Just one chance to get it right
She’s close to the border
She’s starting to run
Her lungs are on fire
The lights go on
Now that they see you
There’s no place to hide
You can’t run for cover
You’ve to run for your life
And even if they are right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They’ve been hiding you since 45
You run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
She’s a victim of 45
When they built up the borders
Passed out the orders
She’s a victim of 45
When they built up the borders
Passed up the orders
Even if you think they’re right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They’ve been hiding you since 45
You run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
