A Kentucky pill And a cow tipping expedition And I've seen a fuller moon Swinging wanton premonition Did you ever expect to have more faith than this or that? 'Cause there's believing and there's taking off your hat And there's reading And there's reading this or that I'm running from my old playmates I'm running through the town I'm running with a gun That's gonna shoot my playmates down Did you punch all those clocks? Did you seal up those time bandits? If you're playing on the swings You can't be in the sand pit I liked you when you wore those other clothes I was into your thinking, where can I get one of those? I would have picked your brains I would have paid you through the nose
I'm running from my old playmates I'm running through the town I'm running with a gun That's gonna shoot my playmates down And I'm running Oh I'm running Oh oh yes I'm running Oh I'm running Oh oh oh And the girls that you see They're all faster than a train You'll see the same girl But you won't see that face again Left the changes down to fate and happenstance Picked a view point Oh and how my girl can dance Followed her feet Realized she was watering the plants I'm running from my old playmates I'm running through the town I'm running with a gun That's gonna shoot my playmates down And I'm running Oh I'm running Oh oh yes I'm running Oh I'm running Oh oh oh
