My pockets are empty cause I spent my money
On poker and liquor in Atlantic City
I was twenty one and on the run
From a life I been tryin to escape from
But we're over now
I got what I wanted
Freedom and a life that I love
I just wanna run away got nothing left to say
Now I know what I'll do without you
I know nothing comes easy but I'm the one that needs pleasing
Now I know what I'll do without you
I'm walking these streets just doing my thing
While you're tryin to live out the American dream
You were 21 and on the run from a life you been dying to escape from
But we're over now
You got what you wanted
Freedom and a life that you love
I just wanna run away got nothing left to say
Now I know what I'll do without you
I know nothing comes easy but I'm the one that needs pleasing
Now I know what I'll do without you
I'm feeling okay I don't wanna wait
For you to realize what you wanna say
Your lookin at me while I'm running away
