    Lyrics

    The sunset in your rearview feels like
    You could run forever
    You’d love someone to hold you
    But they can’t hold you together
    That endless stash of careless years
    You burned through it somehow
    The marrow you sucked out of life
    You sure could use it now, sure could use it now
    And your heroes all died young
    They were racing, chasing the sun, singing
    A short time running and a long time gone

    You said you were an outlaw
    And you raged ‘til they believed you
    It took you for a hell of a ride
    But where’s it gonna leave you?
    How’d you make it home last night?
    Where’d you get those bruises?
    Could it be that all your reasons
    Are nothing but excuses?
    And all the lovers you string along
    Oh, you catch and release them with your song that goes
    A short time running and a long time gone

    The whispers of your conscience
    That get drowned out when you’re bingeing
    Come back around to haunt you
    Whenever you turn off the engine
    But you’ll tear through another town
    Like everywhere you’ve been
    If you can’t turn yourself around
    Just turn yourself in
    On the tangled road ‘tween here and home
    What’ll you leave as you go along on your
    Short time running and your long time gone
