"Can't Run Forever" lyrics

You said the noise from the freeway
Keeps you up so you sleep all day
The walls are empty in your new place
You said all your friends live out of state
You have been left without a warning
Getting up before the morning light
It's nothing new, it's what you're used to
And everyone knows you're just that type

And every time that you're feeling down
You hitch a ride and you head outta town
Now you're alone and it goes to show
That you can't run forever

There's not a trace of where you been before
And there's a mattress on your bedroom floor
You stick around until you're tied down
And you feel like walking out the door
You say you wanna be a new face
You wanna go where no one knows your name
And everyone that you run into
It's just a new chance to state your case

And every time that you're feeling down
You hitch a ride and you head outta town
Now you're alone and it goes to show
That you can't run forever
You got the blues in the ocean air
Blueberry shoes and you colored your hair
It's just the way that the story goes
Honey, you can't run forever

The next time you're sitting at the door
Thinking that it's time for a change
Well, you just might find when you open your eyes
The mirror in the next town looks the same

And every time that you're feeling down
You hitch a ride and you head outta town
Now you're alone and it goes to show
That you can't run forever
You got the blues in the ocean air
Blueberry shoes and you colored your hair
It's just the way that the story goes
Honey, you can't run forever
