China Wall (Boys Town Live at UW Fieldhouse) |
Lyrics8 cups of coffee at this roadside dinerGot me ready to roll in my road liner Run run running from a distant thunder Running from the storm that we were under. There's a wall as big as the great wall of China built up around me There's a road and it's taking me away from the love that can set me free. She was my lover but you are my friend For her my heart broke, for you it could mend You know I never meant to hurt you by getting too close Yea I never meant to leave you until I saw her ghost. There's a wall as big as the great wall of China built up around me There's a road and it's taking me away from the love that can set me free. Oh! So I'm doing a little roadwork Trying to clear my head Of the memory of us And where our dreams led Got my engine wound up And I'm running out of town Another runaway heart going round and round. There's a wall as big as the great wall of China built up around me There's a road and it's taking me away from the love that can set me free. Oh, Oh! |
