"running back" lyrics

Running back, number forty-nine
You had me from the sidelines
And in the back of a Pontiac
Something 'bout that first time
That puts your walls up when it don't work out
You're still holding on to it years from now
I bet you probably put my memory in the ground

And I've had a few somebody new's
Thought about forever too
But I run away when it gets close to that
'Cause no matter how far down the road
The crazy thing is I know
If you called and said you're missin' what we had
I'd come running back

Running back to eighteen
Wonder if that's how you remember me
So dumb, so free
Yeah, sometimes I daydream
About running back into you hometown Kroger
Would it still feel like it did?
Just 'cause we grew up, don't mean we got closure
Ever since, ever since

And I've had a few somebody new's
Thought about forever too
But I run away when it gets close to that
'Cause no matter how far down the road
The crazy thing is I know
If you called and said you're missin' what we had
I'd come running back

To your car, black ice on the rearview
Climb in your lap driving home like we used to
Honestly, all you'd need to do is ask
And I'd come running back
Yeah, I'd come running back, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

And I've had a few somebody new's
Thought about forever too
But I run away when it gets close to that
'Cause no matter how far down the road
The crazy thing is I know
If you called and said you're missin' what we had
I'd come running back
Yeah, I'd come running back

Running back, number forty-nine
You had me from the sidelines
