lyrics

I Ran Away
words and music by
john greene

I ran around the world,
Leaving the past behind
I didn’t carry much I’d never need
Only the ties that bind
Kept burning all my bridges,
Though nothing burns for long
A little love a little tenderness
Another reason to move on

Maybe I’d stopped caring
Maybe I was only bored
As if the act of leaving
Was its own reward
I couldn’t stay, another day, I ran away

I never wanted the American dream,
Just didn’t care to play
I disappeared into the setting sun
I threw a ball away
I ran away from lovers,
I ran away from Spain
I ran away from the fear of failing
Then ran right back again

Maybe I’d stopped caring
Maybe I was only bored
As if the act of leaving
Was its own reward
I couldn’t stay, another day, I ran away

about

John Greene Music Falmouth, UK

John Greene's music is a reflection of his turbulent, non-conformist life and is based on early rock and roll, the pop explosion of the 60’s, the blues and many things Americana.
Best described as ‘Hard Country’, it lives in the space also occupied by the likes of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. It always involves his unique viewpoint on the world he has lived in and the troubles we all share.
