I Was A Runner Once

Lyrics

It was summer once I still see the sun-topped trees through the windowpane Light reflecting on my past, a distant place Bouncing off the binders Of the cards I'd trade 'Tis a glossy haze Brian's house had hallways that were passageways Portals to a hallway scared us all away Nights were spent at baseball, I played second base I was a runner once I used to run hard around the trail by the lake 2017, I'd be there every day When the gunner's gun went off, I'd run my pain away 2017 Every day I was younger once I was impulsive, dumb, and brash, I can't lie about that 'Bout the recklessness and flash you knew me by in early acts I did my best to end everything about that 2017, just trying, man I heard thunder once I took the hard sound and held it in my hands Thought it better, best, to run with that Now the mystical and magic hours do commence Country life, country band Now that summer's done I'll think about the sun-topped trees and windowpanes Memories I hold in me that resonate Country life Country ways
