Run Again - Moccasin Creek

I’m on my tailgate

Watching as the sunsets

A gambling man

Now I’m down to my last bet

Reflectin on the past

And thinkin what the future holds

Bottle in my lap

Realizin I’m a sad soul

I’m rock-bottom underwater

Take my last breath

Feeling like a pitbull

With just a couple fights left

A wounded buck with an arrow in my rib cage

Story of a sad cowboy

I’m going to turn the page

And take it back

To the simple days of childhood

Cuttin grass shucking corn

Chop a little firewood

Playing football in the yard

Like little boys do

Grab a 22

Hit the woods and kill a squirrel or two

But someone hit fast-forward

And all that fun is gone

Now I’m down to my last drop

With just a sad song

I’m feeling like an old hound

Trapped in a pen

And I’m all all I want to do

Is get out and start to run again

I want to run again

Oh yeah

I want to run run again

Oh Lord, let me run again

They took away my water dish

I got no food

Guess I guess that’s why am here

Singing country blues

They beat me down

They rode me till my last buck

Dirt on my back

And I don’t need your hands to get up

I’m gonna stay

And lay on the riverbank

And find the strength inside of me

To refuel my tank

And when I’m ready

I’ll pack it up and ride again

I’m sick and tired

Of feeling trapped in a dog pen

I dust my jeans off

Wipe the tears from my eyes

I crank the truck

As I take another lonely ride

Dirt road I watch my past in the rearview

I hate to talk when there ain’t nobody hearing you

But I can do it on my own

I can be alone

And maybe one day

One of y’all might feel the song

I’ve taken punches

Plenty of them to the chin

But I swear to God

One day I’m gonna run again

I want to run again

Oh yeah

I want to run run again

Oh Lord, let me run again
