Dating was my favorite pastime
Seeing all the bases that I'd hit 'til the home run
Taking her home once
Living fast and running red lights
Downing half a case of Red Striper
Avoiding emotion, had a couple of close ones

But she done gave me a run for my money
She might make me wanna settle down
And quit the run-around

I've run wild like the Mississippi
Run up tabs 'til the glass was empty chasing fun
Had a real good run
And I've run hard like a Chevy engine
'Til I'd run out of gas and women, I was young
But I've grown up
'Cause eventually we all run out of time
So before you let that girl walk out your life
You better run

Crazy how your whole perspective
changes off of one connection
I fell for the wrong ones, not in the long run
She's seen my before and after so I compelled to ask her
"What made you trust me? "
She said, "My love just runs deep"

But she done gave me a run for my money
She might make me wanna settle down
And quit the run-around

I've run wild like the Mississippi
Run up tabs 'til the glass was empty chasing fun
Had a real good run
And I've run hard like a Chevy engine
'Til I'd run out of gas and women, I was young
But I've grown up
'Cause eventually we all run out of time
So before you let that girl walk out your life
You better run
