Run For The Border - Rea Garvey

She tells no one else

Cause no one can know

Her chance of escape, yeah, her time to go

She can say what she wants

But she can’t speak her mind

She’s just like a prisoner committed the crime

Her mother says she’s always loud

She needs to give it up and settle down

Her father tried to break their rules

He took on the power lives by the hour

No longer a child

No longer afraid

There’s no turning back her decision is made

She hides from the daylight

Runes from the dark

They’ll know that she’s gone

But she’s had a good start

And even if they’re right behind you

Run for the border

Run for the border

They’ve been hiding you since '45

You run for the border

Run for the border

Run for the border

Run for the border (hey, yeah)

Run for the border

Run for the border (hey, yeah)

Run for the border

Run for the border

She’s lost in the shadows

She’s losing her mind

Not sure if she’ll make it

But she has to keep tryin'

She’s searching for happiness

That beautiful life

The pictures and magazines they kept classified

You feel forsaken

Your bodies shakin'

As you step up to the starting line

Were you mistaken

Your bodies breakin'

Just one chance to get it right

She’s close to the border

She’s starting to run

Her lungs are on fire

The lights go on

Now that they see you

There’s no place to hide

You can’t run for cover

You’ve to run for your life

And even if they are right behind you

Run for the border

Run for the border

They’ve been hiding you since '45

You run for the border

Run for the border

Run for the border

Run for the border (hey, yeah)

Run for the border

Run for the border (hey, yeah)

Run for the border

Run for the border

She’s a victim of '45

When they built up the borders

Passed out the orders

She’s a victim of '45

When they built up the borders

Passed up the orders

Even if you think they’re right behind you

Run for the border

Run for the border

They’ve been hiding you since '45

You run for the border

Run for the border

Run for the border

Run for the border (hey, yeah)

Run for the border

Run for the border (hey, yeah)

Run for the border

Run for the border
