Mick Flannery - Run a Mile

Tekst piosenki:


Run a mile, run a mile
Run a mile, boy
On and on, on and on

Pouring concrete floor with my old man
Making imprints of our hands
He said one day he'll do the same with my little girls and boys
That same night I heard them fight
Dreamt he whispered soft goodbye
That might live only in my mind
The last time I heard his voice

I'm your happy daughter
I'm your smiling girl
I meant all the world to you when you saw me first

Mama got the dinner on the stove
I'm asleep before she's home
Days go down without a sound
I don't hardly know my name
I got in trouble with my bow
I'm in the circle, now I smoke
You don't seem to want to know
And I'm inclined to feel the same

Run a mile, run a mile
Run a mile, boy
On and on, on and on

You come home on a Friday, half a tank
And you bend me over the sink
Greasy hands on my skirt
Breathe on me like beast
Can we not as hardly, no?
No, it's not the way to go
It only buys him weaker silence
And it's silence I can bare the least

I'm your happy daughter
I'm your smiling girl
I meant all the world to you when you saw me first

Run a mile, run a mile
Run a mile, boy
On and on, on and on
Run a mile, run a mile
Run a mile, boy
On and on, on and on
