gabe lee – longer i run – hammer down lyrics

[part 1: longer i run]

[verse 1]
i’m always running behind, i don’t know what it is
i’m guessing that old nissan engine’s got something to do with it
like the day we broke down
way out over on the high roller side of town
took all our money to get our wheels back on the ground

[verse 2]
there’s not a doubt in my mind i’ll be seeing you soon
lord knows i’ve been driving early morning into the afternoon
don’t you send me no trouble ’cause i’ll be there in time
there’s too many shadows out on those county roads tonight
[chorus]
and the longer i run (longer he runs), then the more i grow tired
from chasing a feeling (chasе that feeling) of a restless unkind (ain’t so kind)
but the longеr i stay, then the more of a mess i tend to make (the mess he makes when he’s leaving)
i ain’t leaving, i just don’t feel like coming home today
no, no

[bridge]
all of my life, i have been dreaming
of a way to keep my years of self abuse from getting even
today i saw an eagle flying over a crimson evening sun
like a vision that this livin’ is far from just begun

[chorus]
ooh, and the longer i run (longer he runs), then the more i grow tired
from chasing a feeling (chase that feeling) of a restless unkind (ain’t so kind)
but the longer i stay, then the more of a mess i tend to make (the mess he makes when he’s leaving)
i ain’t leaving, i just don’t feel like coming home today
oh, i ain’t leaving, i just don’t feel like coming home today
mmm, not today

[part 2: hammer down]

[verse 3]
standing outside, locked out of the house
now nothin’ goes in and nothin’ comes out
all that to say it’s like i’ve been here before
got caught staring at the wrong side of the door
[refrain]
and i, i can’t shake a feeling there’s a gun to my back
i could pray for survival with a hand on the bible
but god only knows
what is or ain’t broke
so go on, lay the steel hammer down

[verse 4]
well, there i’ve done it again, locked my keys in the car
and that’s why today i probably won’t get too far
i could tell you a story of a luckier man
i wouldn’t know where to start, but i’ve seen where it ends

[refrain]
and i, i don’t want no trouble, i’m just trying to get by
it seems the longer you ramble, then the harder you handle
and god only knows
if i’ll ever get home
so go on, lay the steel hammer down
go on, on and on, lay the steel hammer down

[outro]
mmm
