Do You Like My Country Song?

ARTIST: JON MALCOM

TITLE: RUNNING IN FIELDS

I woke up again night

Having a nightmare about last nights firefight

Three men dead the streets we’re red

Fire everywhere but I close my eyes and I almost hear

Chorus:

Momma saying “honey, suppers ready”

Dad asking if I wanna play catch

My dog licking my face on the front porch

I’m giving his head a scratch

And then I take your hand

Look into your eyes that’s my shield

And dream of you and me running through fields

Running away from all the bullets

Running away from all the pain

Running away from the all the fire

I’ll see what this dream yields…

When we go running in fields…

Working overtime is in my job description

For the pain in my heart there’s no prescription

I just try to do my job the best I can

Caring for my brothers, every woman and man

Spreading freedom from sea to sea

But that doesn’t bring you back to me

But I can almost hear:

Chorus:

Momma saying “honey, suppers ready”

Dad asking if I wanna play catch

My dog licking my face on the front porch

I’m giving his head a scratch

And then I take your hand

Look into your eyes that’s my shield

And dream of you and me running through fields

Running away from all the bullets

Running away from all the pain

Running away from the all the fire

I’ll see what this dream yields…

When we go running in fields…

Sitting here in my tent

Pouring my love into letters

Even though my soul’s been spent

I’ll still feel better

Because every time I put the pen to paper I close my eyes can almost hear

Chorus:

Momma saying “Honey, suppers ready.”

Dad asking if I wanna play catch

My dog licking my face on the front porch

I’m giving his head a scratch

And then I take your hand

Look into your eyes that’s my shield

And dream of you and me running through fields

Running away from all the bullets

Running away from all the pain

Running away from the all the fire

I’ll see what this dream yields…

When we go running in fields…

Ohhh

When we go running in fields…
