The expression you were wearing of emotional pain
Like anybody struggling to keep himself sane
I'll run with you, brother, in the midnight rain
When we run out of track on the glory train
I will go running with you
Running in the Georgian night
We, together, will be better than me
Together, we surrender to fight
♪
Got the good time on the radio
I was moving too fast, I was bound to get slow
I wonder, dear brother, is it well with your soul?
If the Lord is the shepherd, will the sheep ever know?
I will go running with you
Running in the Texan night
We, together, will be better than me
Together, we surrender to fight
♪
You woke up drunk on the kitchen floor
The day your daddy died, you didn't drink anymore
You gave up the beer but you still got the fear
I'm terrified with you, brother, now I'm here
I will go running with you
Running in the Illinois night
We, together, will be better than me
Together, we surrender to fight
♪
I thought you were dead and I'd have to let you go
When we wrecked driving drunk down in New Mexico
I walked out the hospital and I got the news
You're alive now, I'm still singing you Rex's blues
I will go running with you
Running in the Missouri night
We, together, will be better than me
Together, we surrender to fight
♪
When you took the trolley to the top of the arch
Your heart started thumping and your vision got dark
When you let me into your peaceful place
I burned down your house and now I'm hiding my face
I will one day run with you
Run in the unknown night
We, together, will be better than me
Together, we surrender to fight
♪
I heard the whisper of the Lord in your voice
Calling me back up and giving me another choice
The needle hanging in, I collapsed on the floor
You were both crying out to me and banging on the door
I will one day run with you
Run in the unknown night
We, together, will be better than me
Together we surrender to fight
Together, we surrender to fight
