Grew up believing love was a grudge
And home was a place where you lived with your guard up
People keep saying, "Memories fade"
Mine are all drunk and they just keep callin'
Well I hear the gun go off crowd go wild
You're still here mile after mile
Oh, the past is a long-distance runner
And I'm fallin' further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long-distance runner
Goin' round in my mind, mind, mind
Round in my mind
Oh, oh, miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles (oh, oh)
I need some music, I need some sleep
I need a lover, somebody to move me
Takes me forever and ever to see
The good in the people who see the good in me
Oh, the past is a long-distance runner
And I'm fallin' further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long-distance runner
Goin' round in my mind, mind, mind
Round in my mind
Oh, oh, miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh, oh, miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Hear the gun go off, thunder crack
And my head says, "Go, don't ever look back"
The past is a long-distance runner
And I'm fallin' further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long-distance runner
Goin' round in my mind, mind, mind
Round in my mind
Oh, oh, miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh, oh, miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles (oh, oh)
