Running Blind

At a quick shop somewhere west of Albuquerque Got a tank of gas, a cold drink and a beef jerky The cashier she gave me a smile So I stood there and I talked to her awhile She said, "Where you headed, I hope you get there soon I seen 'em all day long from 4 a.m. to noon Some are runnin' from, some are runnin' to Some are runnin' blind, Lord which one are you?'' Well I said, ''It don't appear to me to be cut and dried You don't know me from Adam, can it be so black and white'' I said, "I got a plan you see, I got it figured out How can you be so sure my dear, what I'm all about?'' She said, ''I've stood in this window for 27 years I can tell you cash or credit, I can tell your brand of beer I can tell you who's a liar and the truth is plain to see That's your last $20, boy and don't ya lie to me'' And there's a girl in Albuquerque cryin', ain't there And you're standin' in a quick shop lyin', ain't ya well? She handed back my $20, said, ''You know what to do If you drive steady son, you'll be home this afternoon And I hate to judge you, I don't mean to seem unkind But there ain't no use in runnin' if you're only runnin' blind'' ''Ah, there ain't no use in runnin' if you're only runnin' blind''
