Running Away

Shots of Yaegar, Teguila, Big Jack,
she doesn't care,
as long as the memories don't come back.

A black eye,
and busted lip,
showing no pain,
in this woman's trip.

She's dancing on tables,
singing in the mic,
She's having fun now,
forgetting the problems in her life.

She drops her beer,
the break,
changing her smile,
back to reality
where she stayed for awhile.

I watch her cry at the bar,
without a word said,
but I knew what she was feeling,
something every woman dreads.

Some advice with a hug,
and another round of Patron,
has got this woman back,
into the "don't give a shit" zone.

She's dancing on tables,
singing in the mic,
She's having fun now,
forgetting the problems in her life.

A good-bye to all,
She leaves with a smile,
and I felt bad knowing,
she could only escape for awhile.
