Why Don't You Run?

By SykoKoRnFreeK

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If there's a plane leaving town I hope you're on it If there's a train moving fast down the tracks I hope you caught it Because down here isn't where you need to be So, catch a ride Or catch a cab But don't you walk Why don't you run? Cut a path across the blue skies Straight in a straight line you can't leave here fast enough Find a truck and fire it up Lean on the gas and off the clutch If you don't have a suitcase Grab a box or an old brown paper sack Pack it light or pack it heavy Take a truck or take a Chevy There's a shortcut to the highway out of town Why don't you take it? Don't let that speed limit slow you down Go ahead and break it Just remember I don't want you walking So why don't you run? Written December 28th, 2001 © on Dec 28 2001 04:27 AM PST    18 • 0 • 14
