I am looking forward to reading this! I’m also excited to read Bob Dylan’s new book The Philosophy Of Song.
Check out Run Rose Run, the album and the book here.
"Run" lyrics
Run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run, run-run, run
When you find yourself in a mess of trouble
Trapped amongst the trash and rubble
Prayin' for relief but gettin' none
You wanna start your life anew
You just don't know exactly how to
Find your opportunity and run
Run, run and run some more
Clear the premises before
The same old problems pull you back again
Run, run and just keep goin'
Till you get to where you're knowin'
You can rest, catch your breath
Know how it feels to win
Oh, run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run, run-run, run
You want to keep the hounds at bay
Don't give up, you'll find a way
Refuse to be controlled by anyone
And the walls that you run into
Break 'em down, you know you have two
Choices, you can stay or run
Run, run and just keep movin'
Heal the past, keep improvin'
You can face your troubles one by one
You're gonna have to face your problems
You need time and space to solve 'em
Then you'll bloom just like a rose kissed by the sun
So run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run, run-run, run
Take your chances, you can do it
Make a plan and then stick to it
Make a choice to really be someone
Break away, run to freedom
Break old habits, you don't need 'em
Break the cycle, those ol' days are done
You have two choices, you can stay or run
Run, run and run some more
Clear the premises before
The same old problems pull you back again
Run, run and just keep goin'
Till you get to where you're knowin'
You can rest and catch your breath
I know that you can win
So run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run, run-run, run
Come on, run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run, run-run, run
(Run, you can run) Run-run-run, run-run
Run-run-run, a-run-run
Run-run-run, run-run
