Do you remember the night when I first walked you home
the headlights swirled all around us in our brave new world
they were young and free, similies for you and me
as the night ran beside us so breathlessly
you grew to hate new years- you grew to hate fourth of July
you grew to stay out later and later every night
you never once felt ashamed, of all of these and other things
in the nine years it took me to wear down your puppy dog heart
Ooohh, we had a good run
who said our running days are done
Now on this long dark road a couple of miles below the limit
I drive and I drive but I can't keep up with you
you live seven years for every one of mine
so I drive and I drive and I hope that I make it home safe tonight
Ooohh, we had a good run
well who said our running days are done
Ooohh, we had a good run
well who said, who said our running days are done
standing on the platform a voice crackles over the speaker
as the last train for melborne departs
give uncle jimmy all my love, and little lupe a great big hug and
I'll see you when my own days of runinng are done.
Ooohh, we had a good run
well who said our running days are done
Ooohh, we had a good run
well who said, who said our running days are done
