"Outrun The Moon" lyrics

"Outrun The Moon"

It was over before he fell down
She heard them screaming run and don't look back
It was sometime after midnight
Off the interstate across the tracks

She knew they'd catch her one day
Like try and outrun the moon
They'd always be there right behind her
Didn't matter how fast she moved

So kingdom's come
You know what's next
But you ain't done
Running yet

Are you?
Little girl can you
Outrun the moon
Outrun the moon

She left home at sixteen
Things had changed when her father died
New man her mom married
Well, they never saw eye to eye

Cigarette smoke in the neon
There must've been a hundred shades of red
Now she's running through the moonlight
Her only plan is getting somewhere else

So kingdom's come
You know what's next
But you ain't done
Running yet

Are you?
Little girl can you
Outrun the moon
Outrun the moon

So kingdom's come
You know what's next
But you ain't done
Running yet

Are you?
Little girl can you
Outrun the moon
Outrun the moon
Little girl can you
Outrun the moon
Outrun the moon
Outrun the moon
