About this song
She's always on the run — faster than a bullet from a gun. She sold everything that reminded her of him, got rid of her phone, and sings along to the radio with one hand on the wheel. A portrait of a girl escaping heartbreak at full speed, written with Karsten Belt.
Lyrics
There's a highway outta this town
And the stars light it up as they shine on down
She's driving off in this world alone no she ain't ever going home
She lights a cigarette puts one hand on the steering wheel
And the radio plays her favorite songs
And if the lyrics get messed up
She won't give up and sing along
She sings along
The girl is always, is always on the run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
The girl is always, is always on the run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
She said so long got rid of her phone
She ain't ever going home
She sold all her stuff it reminded her too much of him
From the couch to the sheets that they've been sleeping in
Now she's kissing brand new lips and trusting brand new eyes
I'm sure that they don't realize it's in her eyes
The girl is always, is always on the run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
The girl is always, is always on the run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
She said so long got rid of her phone
She ain't ever going home
She needs a little a while to better understand
Why she left her heart in someone else's hands
She tries to save herself by escaping in some fun
She wants to feel the same like before it all went wrong
The girl is always, is always on the run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
The girl is always, is always on the run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
She said so long got rid of her phone
She ain't ever going home
So long oooh she's never going home oooh
She's never going
Never going home
