RUNNING BACK TO YOU ©December 2025 by Mark King
[Verse 1]
I was born on the wrong side of a one-way track
Daddy said “boy, you ain’t never comin’ back”
I hit the highway with a pocket full of lies
Till your memory lit a fire in my bloodshot eyes
[Verse 2]
Neon towns and whiskey nights, I thought I was free
But every mile just kept on bringing you to me
Telephone poles like crosses in the driving rain
Every one of ’em callin’ out your name
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t fight it, I can’t fake it anymore
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ back to you, baby, like a river to the sea
Runnin’ back to you, girl, you’re the only remedy
I was wrong, I was gone, but now I’m comin’ home tonight
Runnin’ back to you, gonna make it right
[Verse 3]
Midnight radio playin’ our old song
Three thousand miles never felt so long
Headlights cut the darkness like a razor blade
Every mile I’m closer to the love we made
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ back to you, baby, like the thunder needs the sky
Runnin’ back to you, girl, gonna love you till I die
I was lost, paid the cost, but now I’m breakin’ through
Runnin’ back to you, runnin’ back to you
[Bridge]
Let the highway burn, let the bridges fall
Your love’s the only thing worth saving at all
[Final Chorus]
Runnin’ back to you! Like a bullet from a gun
Runnin’ back to you! Till the rising of the sun
I was wrong, now I’m strong, and I’m comin’ home tonight
Runnin’ back to you—gonna hold you tight!
