Don't Be Afraid to Run

Don't Be Afraid To Run - Greg Graffin

Down in the holler

There's a thriving town

A treasure trove that makes the world go around

When the city barons bring their legal papers and guns

Oh darlin' don't be afraid to run

When we came to settle here we came to stay

Maybe raise a family earn a decent wage

Now every public servant reeks of suspicion

So darlin' don't be afraid to run

Darlin' don't be afraid to run

And don't turn your back on the noonday sun

Someday redemption will wash everyone

But there's no telling when that day will come

So darlin' don't be afraid to run

Maybe we'll rendezvous out in nowheresville

Or maybe we'll find each other runnin' still

Until we reach that auspicious liaison

Darlin' don't be afraid to run

Darlin' don't be afraid to run

And don't turn your back on the noonday sun

The people will greet you with derision

You'll never be their model citizen

So darlin' don't be afraid to run
