Lyrics Shawn Mullins

Shawn Mullins

Just Like Me

She seemed almost demented

As she frantically repented

For the crime in which she filled her empty bowl

It was empty like her soul

She kneeled inside the confession booth

And she told that holy man the truth

But the booth was empty

It was frozen black as coal

It was damp and cold

Where you gonna run to now?

You lost what faith you had somehow

Your show is over, don't you know it

It's time to take a bow

Where you gonna run to now?

She spends her nights with lonely men

And she goes too far every now and then

But it's her longest running show

And the oldest job around

They say she's the best in town

Baby, where you gonna run to now?

You lost what pride you had somehow

Your show is over, don't you know it

It's time to take a bow

Where you gonna run to now?

Now in 5 more years she'll be 23

In a lot of ways she's just like me

She gives away her body

And I, I give away my soul

We're always searching

For life's treasures to unfold

Yeah, we give it all to you

Yet we have no pot of gold

So where are we gonna run to now?

We lost what love we had somehow

We're on this one way highway

Until the bitter end

But where are we gonna run to then?

So where

Where are we gonna run to then?
