lover and a runner

Got a smile for the sunrise, smoke for the moon Talk sweet in the mornin’, gone by noon One boot in heaven, one stuck in the ditch Born with a wild streak I never could fix Can’t cage a heart cut loose by the stars One side still drivin’, one side bears scars Don’t ask me to settle, don’t beg me to stay I’m gone like thunder rollin’ away I’m a lover and a runner, fire and rain Half at your bedside, half on a train Heart runs wild but it cuts too deep Dream while I’m drivin’, lie in my sleep Don’t pull me close, I’ll slip outside That’s the curse of my Gemini side That’s the curse of my Gemini side Switchin’ lanes on a blacktop night One hand on whiskey, one holdin’ tight Chasin’ freedom down county lines Still got ghosts ridin’ shotgun inside Words hit hard like a summer storm Cold one minute, next minute warm Wearin’ last night’s smoke and a crooked grin Don’t know which devil’s gonna win I’m a lover and a runner, fire and rain Half at your bedside, half on a train Heart runs wild but it cuts too deep Dream while I’m drivin’, lie in my sleep Don’t pull me close, I’ll slip outside That’s the curse of my Gemini side That’s the curse of my Gemini side Two voices burnin’ under my skin One says leave, one pulls me back in Half want freedom, the other a locked door Ain’t figured out which one hurts more Desert wind blowin’ through my mind Leavin’ one more town behind From the dust below to the stars up high I’ve been split down the middle my whole damn life I’m a lover and a runner, fire and rain One eye cryin’, one breakin’ chains Foot in the gravel, soul in the sky Can’t outrun what lives inside No lookin’ back, just the road and the ride Me and the ghost of my Gemini side the ghost of my Gemini side Two shadows fade where the highway bends One keeps leavin’, one never ends Tail lights burnin’ in the dead of night Twin hearts ridin’ outta sight
