Run Boy Run

Genre: Folk/Acoustic

Lyrics

Follow that carnival run boy run
I couldn’t hold a candle to the things you’ve done
Just a broke ass cowboy and the works all done
But we’re listening to the wild thin mercury sound

Chase the festival run boy run
I couldn’t hold a candle to the tales you’ve spun
Hibbing, Minnesota is a small small town
But we’re dancing to the wild thin mercury sound

Chorus:
Down the Mystical River to the Gulf of Mexico,
From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the redwood coast
I’ll always be searching for the love and the light
You never lost your aim in the darkest night

You’ve been murdered and born again
You never set your sails to the idiot wind
Over and over and over again
In the end is the beginning, the beginning is the end

Chorus

Follow the carnival run boy run
I couldn’t hold a candle to the things you’ve done
The festival’s over and the curtain’s gone down
But we’re listening to the wild thin mercury sound

Chorus
