Runnin' every light that came upon them
They headed toward the place where he'd be born
Given all the names that came before him
Destin' for a life of being torn
So with everything inside
He stared out to the light, and held his hands against the walls of time
Through barely opened eyes, and yelled out, though you may want me
I ain't ready to go
Runnin' every light that came upon them
Booze and cheap tattoos along the way
Always staying on the wanted list
Or just in with a bad crowd, some would say
With everything inside
He stared onto the night
And roared we all will live forever
And never be told time, even though they may not want me
I ain't ready to go
Runnin' every light that came upon them
He proved his love with the pedal down to the floor
(Proved his love with the pedal down to the floor)
And though she knew he was a wanted man
And always dreamed of having more
With everything inside
He looked into her eyes
And then he swore that it would all work out
'Til the end of time then promised
Though you may not want me
I ain't ready to go
♪
Runnin' every light that came upon them
Never seen it comin' though he did
Facing the names that came before him
Deep within the darkness where he often hid
With everything inside
He stared up to the sky
And searched for any sign of Heaven
With a teardrop in his eye, and whispered
Though you may want me
Though you may want me
Even though you may want me
I ain't ready to go
I ain't ready to go
