Lyrics
I was driving, it was getting late
We pulled into a super eight, just off the free way near Richmond
And it was cold, it was Halloween
You looked up and you smiled at me
We're just two runaways running on a dream
I was broke, I was so blue
Yeah, I was stuck, I was a threaded screw
Until I ran with you
There were bloodstains on the floor
Put a chair up against the door
And I opened a bottle we'd been saving
I stayed up 'til you fell asleep
Went outside, and I watched the leaves just falling slowly and silently
I didn't want it to end
I didn't want it to end, I still go there
I didn't want it to end
I didn't want it to end, I still go there, yeah
Sunrise over Irongate
You're where the Jackson meets the James
Where the two rivers whisper and rage
Oh, Carolina seemed to call our names
We headed south in the morning rain
And got drunk in some bar near Greenville
And we danced to the country band
And we danced 'til we couldn't stand
And then we ran, ran, ran
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, all night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, all night
I can't believe that we've come so far
Found each other out in the dark
You were trouble right from the start
But I was so in love, I was falling apart
I can't believe that we've come so far
We found each other out in the dark
And you were trouble right from the start
But I was so in love, I was falling apart
I didn't want it to end
I didn't want it to end, I still go there
I didn't want it to end
I didn't want it to end, I still go there
In my head (didn't want it to end)
(I didn't want it to end, I still go there)
In my head (I didn't want it to end)
(I didn't want it to end, I still go there)
