So They Ran
(K. Francis & J. Francis, JAK Songs 2006)
- The fantasy of leaving it all behind in search of adventure and excitement and finding...reality. -
They both worked in the city
Spent their days working hard for the man
He thought she was pretty
That’s how it began
So they got hitched outside of the city
Got new jobs working hard for the man
Johnny said, "Girl, ain’t it a pity
There’s gotta be a higher, sweeter, better, more important plan."
So they ran
Oh, they ran
They ran to the mountains
And they took a deep breath of clean air
Filled with a new sense of freedom
Everything was possible there
But after time in Utopia
Far from everything they knew
They just sat and stared at each other,
Not really knowing what else to do
So they ran
Oh they ran
Hand in hand
From the plan
They were back from Utopia, back to everything they knew
To this day they stare at each other, not really knowing what else to do
But they ran
Oh they ran
Hand in hand
Towards the plan
They moved back to the city
Got new jobs working days for the man
Everybody smiled, we knew you’d be back…
