Lyrics

Runnin Aint What It Used To Be
Roy Hurd/Mark Elliott

Took one last sip of coffee grabbed my coat and tossed some quarters on the table
Turned my collar up to cut the wind and walked out in to the night
There’s a blanket of snow covering all the broken heart out on the shoulder
It looks pretty on the surface but what’s underneath will cut you like a knife

Chorus:
Runnin aint what it used to be
The miles mean nothing to a memory
No matter where I go there’s no getting over her
Leavin was a big mistake now I’ve had all the freedom I can take
It’s all catchin up with me runnin aint what it used to be

I knew if I kept movin fast what I left behind could never hurt me
I lost that guarantee the second that I started lookin back
Now all that I can think about is how it felt to have her arms around me
And the only way to get back to her love is to follow my own tracks

Repeat Chorus:

Leavin was a big mistake now I’ve had all the freedom I can take
It’s all catchin up with me runnin aint what it used to be

It’s all catchin up with me runnin aint what it used to be
