About Run

"The Long Run" is a song written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey and recorded by the Eagles. The sound of the song is viewed as a tribute to the Stax / Memphis rhythm and blues sound. It was the title track of their album The Long Run and was released as a single in November 1979. It reached No. 8 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 in early 1980. It was the second of three singles released from The Long Run album, preceded by "Heartache Tonight," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1979, and followed by "I Can't Tell You Why," which also reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, in the spring of 1980. The song was featured on the TV show WKRP in Cincinnati on the episode "The Doctor's Daughter". Specifically, Dr. Johnny Fever decides to air the recording and his programming director Andy Travis is hysterical with delight that his popular DJ is playing a hit record for once.

While I powder my nose
He will powder his gums
And if I try to get close
He is already gone
Don't know where he's going
Don't know where he's been
But he is restless at night
'Cause he has horrible dreams

So we lay in the dark,
We've got nothing to say
Just the beating of hearts,
Like two drums in the grey
I don't know what we're doing
I don't know what we've done
But the fire is coming
So I think we should run

I think we should run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run

While I put on my shoes
He will button his coat
And we will step outside
Checking that the coast is clear on both sides
'Cause we don't wanna be seen
Oh, this is suicide
But you can't see the ropes

And I won't tell my mother
It's better she don't know
And he won't tell his folks,
'Cause they're already ghosts
And we'll just keep each other,
As safe as we can
Until we reach the border
Until we make our plan

To run, run, run, run
To run, run, run, run
To run, run, run, run

Will you stay with me my love
For another day?
'Cause I don't want to be alone,
When I'm in this state
Will you stay with me my love?
'Til we're old and grey
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
When these bones decay

Run, run, run, run
Oh run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run
