LYRICS:
Run To Daylight
(Pearce/Murray/Blanchard)
Intro
Verse 1
When the good goes bad, you know you been used
Your love lights gone, you done blown a fuse
When it’s too much to handle, she always on your back
She makes your sunny day turn to midnight black
You gotta get away, just as fast as you can
When love ain’t workin’, you need a brand-new plan
Chorus
Run to daylight, rise and shine
Run to daylight, leave the dark days behind
The future looks brighter, if you follow the sun
When you need a game changer, you know what’s gotta be done
Run to daylight
Run Run Run, Run to daylight
Verse 2
When you get a pay raise, and it ain’t enough
She’s drivin’ you crazy with her low-down stuff
When she’s got a good man, she don’t appreciate
You wanna change her mind, but it’s way too late
You gotta hit the ground runnin’, break the chains that bind
When you get where you’re goin’, who knows what you’ll find
Chorus
Run to daylight, rise and shine
Run to daylight, leave the dark days behind
The future looks brighter, if you follow the sun
When you need a game changer, you know what’s gotta be done
Run to daylight
Run Run Run, Run to daylight
Instrumental Break
The future looks brighter, if you follow the sun
When you need a game changer, you know what’s gotta be done
Vamp
Run to daylight (ad lib)
Run Run Run Run to
Daylight (ad lib)
