Shawn Mullins - Just Like Me lyrics

rate me

She seemed almost demented

as she frantically repented

for the crime in which she filled her empty bowl,

it was empty like her soul

She kneeled inside the confession booth,

and she told that holy man the truth

but the booth was empty,

frozen black as coal,

it was damp and cold.

Where are you gonna run to now?

You lost what faith you had somehow

Your show is over,

it's time to take a bow

Where are you gonna run to now?

She spends her nights with lonely men

and she goes too far every now and then.

But it's her longest running show

and the oldest job around,

they say she's the best in town.

Where are you gonna run to now?

You lost what pride you had somehow

Your show is over,

it's time to take a bow

Where are you gonna run to now?

Now in 5 more years she'll be 23

And in a lot of ways she's just like me

She gives away her body,

I give away my soul.

We're always searching for life's treasures to unfold.

We give it all to you

yet we have no pot of gold.

So where are we gonna run to now?

We lost what love we had somehow,

we're on this one way highway

until the bitter end

but where are we gonna run to then?
