A Million Ways to Run - Terri Clark

In the basement of the church

I took the last chair in the room

Embarrassed and ashamed

But that all began to change

When she stood up and spoke her truth

She said I came here years ago

When I lost my sanity

I hit an all-time low

But then I found serenity

I took shelter hiding from the pain

In any place to make it go away

In the arms of a stranger

Keeping company with danger

Or staring down the barrel of a gun

At the bottom of a bottle

Getting numb with every swallow

'Cause it’s easy, when it’s what you’ve always done

With a million ways to run

I was the first one out the door

But her words echoed in my head

I took the long way home

But no longer felt alone

'Cause I’d lived everything she said

I thought about lost moments of my past

And then I knew, there was no going back

To the arms of a stranger

Keeping company with danger

Or staring down the barrel of a gun

The bottom of a bottle

Getting numb with every swallow

'Cause it’s easy, when it’s what you’ve always done

With a million ways to run

There’s a freedom I have found

In staying on the ground

Long enough to chase those demons down

And I thank God I know I’m not the only one

With a million ways to run
