I took off I'm bound for the border Where I don't mind wasting my time 'Cause when I'm halfway out of town, there's a feeling I can't keep down I'm most lonesome when I'm not away It's a mystery to me the way things oughta be But in my mind I'm a child when the sun goes down And I can't keep giving you the run around Of my failing life ♪ I'm at a loss for the words that you taught me But I never thought 'em as a wasted life And it never untrue the love between us two But it was me who couldn't be there for you It's a mystery to me the way things oughta be But in my mind I'm a child when the sun goes down I can't keep giving you the run around Of my failing life It's a mystery to me the way things oughta be But in my mind I'm a child when the sun goes down I can't keep giving you the run around Of my failing life
