Intro: Am Oh, my child C Thirty years today G You came into my life Am And everything changed There's one thing I tried to teach you C Girl, don't you waste your time G Come this September Am You'll be somebody's wife G F I won't paint a picture of what you want to see Em Dm Love is the harder times, take it from me F C Am I would run down the lane and into the night F C Am Run so fast, I swear my feet would fly F C Am Run from my babies, asleep in their beds F C Am Run from my lover and my best friend G And back again Instrumental: Am C G Am And all of the courage C I tried so hard to hold on to G Ever since that day Am You and your brother left for school They say, just over that hill C The fog rolled in G And, "Come quick doctor Am We think somebody's been killed" G F And I have been a healer of other people's pain Em Dm Yeah, I know sometimes you don't like the ways I've changed F C Am But the smell of the world came into my lungs F C Am The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb F C Am And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest F C Am It felt so good to know I wasn't dead F C Am I would run down the lane and into the night F C Am Run so fast, I swear my feet would fly F C Am Run from my babies, asleep in their beds F C Am Run from my lover and my best friend G Back again Am Back again OUTRO: Am
