about

This ones just Logan having some fun! One of his story songs of a man on the run from the law, who won't go back to prison.

He explores different paces for different parts of the song, beautifully mixing an action sequence with an internal dialogue. You'll find personal tidbits from Logans life mixed in as always and Adam Ganton is allowed to shine on lead guitar dancing around the fret-board with passion and skill. Enjoy.

lyrics

Well you runnin down the street

Tryin keep to yourself

There’s a Sheriff on your trail

Wants to put you on the shelf

You got your new shoes on

Goin fast as they can go

Stole em from a man

When it was 44 below

Bridge

Sometimes gotta slow it down

And start taking a look around

See if those roses our smellin are red

At least that’s what the old man said… but he’s dead

Chorus

The Run Around (x4)

Verse

So you still don’t stop

Quick steal a car

There’s a factory downtown

And it’s not that far

They’re right on your ass

Nowhere to turn

Parked it through the wall

Building starts to burn

Bridge

Chorus

Runaround (x4)

So you bail from the car

Find a vantage point

Got no weapon

But you ain’t goin to the joint

A man comes in

With his gun withdrew

You know more are comin

Lotsa boys in blue

Hook

Chorus

Bridge

Now they’ll lock you up to stay

And you’ll be waiting day after day

But there ain’t no place to look

Shoulda took a page from the old mans book
