Disappear from your hometownnGo and find the people that you knownShow them all you good partsnLeave town when bad ones start to shownGo and wed a womannA pretty girl that you’ve never metnMake sure she knows you love her wellnBut don’t make any other promisesnnThe weight of lies will bring you downnAnd follow you to every townnCause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen therenSo when you run make sure you runnTo something and not away fromnCause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you anywherennI once heard the worse thing nA man could do is draw a hungry crowdnTell everyone his name, pride, and confidencenBut leaving out his doubtnI’m not sure I bought those wordsnWhen I was young I knew most everythingnThese words have never meant as much to anyonenAs they now mean to mennThe weight of lies will bring you downnAnd follow you to every townnCause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen therenSo when you run make sure you runnTo something and not away fromnCause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you down
