Lyrics

Can?t Outrun the Sun
Words and Music © 2003 Henry E. Harris III

Hey, Lone star ride with me tonight
Beyond the city limits and the reaches of the light
Show me someplace where I can be alone
Don?t care where I?m going ? I sure as hell ain?t goin? home
Hey Hey Hey?.. I think I?ll slip away

Chorus:
I?m just waiting on the sun to rise
There ain?t no use in goin? home tonight, yeah
And I can?t outrun the past, on an empty tank of gas
Oh the damage done, and I can?t outrun the sun
You know, I think I?ll stay out here awhile and wait and see if tomorrow comes

I?ve been running on empty ever since I crossed the state line
Spend my last ten dollars on smokes and a cheap bottle of wine, I?m gonna
Drive out to the desert and drink with the old man in the moon --
Scream freedom and sing sad coyote tunes
Hey Hey Hey??. I think I?ll drive away

Chorus:
I?m just waiting on the sun to rise
There ain?t no use in goin? home tonight, yeah
And I can?t outrun the past, on an empty tank of gas
Oh the damage done, but I can?t outrun the sun
You know, I think I?ll stay out here awhile and wait and see if tomorrow comes

(Solo)

Drive out to the desert
And drink with the old man in the moon
Scream freedom, and sing sad coyote tunes
Maybe tomorrow will look better in the morning light ?
I?ll hitch a ride back into town and start putting things back right
Hey Hey Hey?? maybe I should stay

Chorus:
I?m just waiting on the sun to rise
There ain?t no use in goin? home tonight, yeah
And I can?t outrun the past, on an empty tank of gas
Oh the damage done, but I can?t outrun the sun
You know, I think I?ll stay out here awhile and wait and see if tomorrow comes
You know, I think I?ll stay out here awhile and wait and see if tomorrow comes
