RUN THE OTHER WAY
Words & Music by Mark Durfield

You were young and pretty, barely seventeen
The apple of your mother's eye, and every schoolboy's dream
I was wild and crazy, always lookin' for a thrill
We started goin' steady, and from there it went downhill
One night we were gettin' crazy and I just couldn't wait
To cure my urge you made me promise to marry you someday
So I took your love in the backseat of my daddy's 302
And by the time I got you home, I was over you
And now your mama's got a shotgun, and she knows how to shoot
She is out to kill me for what I've done to you
But I was just a young man, only livin' for each day
Now every time I see her comin' I run the other way
Well it caused quite a scandal as it spread all over town
Said I took your reputation and dragged it to the ground
Your mama swore if she caught me she was gonna kill me dead
Beat me with a crowbar and fill me full of lead
But I just couldn't understand why you made such a fuss
It's hard when you're a young man not to give in to the lust
I never meant to hurt you or cause you any pain
For a minute I truly loved you, at least until I came
And now your mama's got a shotgun, and she knows how to shoot
She is out to kill me for what I've done to you
But I was just a young man, only livin' for each day
Now every time I see her comin' I run the other way
