running shoes

i'll keep wearing these running shoes 'til i'm all worn out

and they're no use to me

no use to me

gunning for a peace from this abuse

'cause i'm all tired out and i'm no use to you

no use to you

and there's no rest for the wicked

so i'm screaming and i'm kicking to sleep

to sleep

the beliefs they're instilling

on the boys

on the children

on me

on me

i've been running

i've been running for a while

for a while

i've been running

i've been running for a while

for a while

these running shoes weigh me down

these running shoes are wearing out

this running

carved his name in the carpet

right where i spent all of my sleepless nights in that room

in that room

can't get his face out of my mind

and god knows that i've tried and tried for you

and there's no rest for the wicked

so i'm screaming and i'm kicking to sleep

to sleep

the beliefs they're instilling

on the boys

on the children

on me

on me

i've been running

i've been running for a while

for a while

i've been running

i've been running for a while

for a while

these running shoes weigh me down

these running shoes are wearing out

this running

these running shoes weigh me down

these running shoes are wearing out

this running

love in america got me down

try to take off running but hit the ground

these running shoes weigh me down

these running shoes are wearing out

this running

these running shoes weigh me down

these running shoes are wearing out

this running

these running shoes weigh me down
