I was driving it was getting late
We pulled into a super 8
Just off the freeway near Richmond
And it was cold it was Halloween
You looked up and you smiled at me
We re just two runaways running on a dream
I was broke I was so blue
Yeah I was stuck I was a threaded screw
Until I ran with you
There were bloodstains on the floor
Put a chair up against the door
And I opened a bottle we d been saving
I stayed up till you fell asleep
I went outside and I watched the leaves
Just falling slowly and silently
I didn t want it to end
I didn t want it to end I still go there
I didn t want it to end
I didn t want it to end I still go there
Sunrise over Irongate
Where the Jackson meets the James
Where the two rivers whisper and rage
Carolina seemed to call our names
We headed south in the morning rain
And got drunk in some bar near (Greenview? Not sure on the actual town he s naming.)
And we danced to the country band
And we danced till we couldn t stand
And then we ran, ran, ran
Ohhh all, all night
Ohhh alk, all night
I can t believe that we ve come so far
Found each other out in the dark
You were trouble right from the start
But I was so in love I was falling apart
I can t believe that we ve come so far
Found each other out in the dark
You were trouble right from the start
But I was so in love I was falling apart
I didn t want it to end
I didn t want it to end I still go there
I didn t want it to end
I didn t want it to end I still go there
In my head (I didn t want it to end I still go there)
In my head (I didn t want it to end I still go there)
