From the recording Runaway
Lyrics
She has a buffalo tattoo on the top of her right arm
To remind herself to always turn toward the storm
Like her Daddy always said before Mama left the farm
You gotta face what you fear and attack it head on
So now she finds herself living in a place where she can’t hardly breathe
Feeling the pull the the plains but she don’t know where they will lead
She wants to runaway
She wants to runaway
But where she’s running to
And what she’s running from
Only she can say
She wants to runaway
She wants to runaway
But where she’s running to
And what she’s running from
Only she can say
With just a few favorite things packed in Mama’s old suitcase
She promised her own baby girl, she would be back one day
So with a charge in her tracks and the wind in her face
She touched that faded, old tattoo and hitched a ride out of that damn place
So now, she’s runaway
So now, she’s runaway
But where she’s running to
And what she’s running from
Only she can say
So now, she’s runaway
For now, she’s runaway
And even though she’s scared
And frankly, unprepared
She knows she can’t stay
But I really want to know
Is how far does the buffalo roam
Before it finds its way home?
