We grew up together

We grew apart in everything we did

I saw in her surprise

But I never dared to try

And see my baby run

We took a hard load

Ten years on the same road

With a sink that never drained

I remember how she wept

When there was nothing left but death

And to see my baby run

See my baby run

She runs down on herself

Down on her luck

Blaming me 'cause I ain't the guy

Down on her luck, down on her luck

She, ahhh

I intend to find

See my baby run, see my baby run

see my baby run she's running out of town

I loved her freedom

I craved her scheming

When my mind turned to blanks

She always had her fun

Just grabbing for my gun

To see her baby stunned

We grew up bitter

I grew up smart

Just learning from her skills

And I always kind of felt

That there was nothing she wouldn't sell

To see my baby run

See my baby run

She runs down on herself

Down on her luck

Blaming me 'cause I ain't the guy

Down on her luck, down on her luck

She, ahhh

I intend to find

See my baby run, see my baby run

see my baby run she's running out of town
