When you look out your window and see her runnin' away You start addin' things up, how you let her down Now she's makin' you pay, by runnin' away It's just like some movie, one you've already seen You're playin' the part of the guy All alone up there on the screen, you know what that means Your sight's twenty-twenty and you're lookin' behind You only wish you had thought of something you could do To ease her mind, instead what you find is she's runnin' away Bury me in a lonesome valley Where I can feel the sun goin' up and down And I can feel that old river rollin' And the cryin' wind is the only sound It takes a whole lifetime just to learn how to live To know when it's time to stop takin' and learn You've got something to give and that's how to live That's not my story, I'm here all alone The only thing left is the sound of this house and me pacin' alone There's nobody home and she's runnin' away Bury me in a lonesome valley Where I can feel the sun goin' up and down And I can feel that old river rollin' And the cryin' wind is the only sound When you look out your window, see her runnin' away You start addin' things up, how you let her down Now she's makin' you pay, by runnin' away, she's runnin' away
