Lyrics

“Layne, You Oughta Run”
(A Country Song About Layne & Caleb)

(Verse 1)
Layne, you’re like sunshine, paintin’ up the sky,
Soft as the ocean, green in your eyes.
Got a heart full of laughter, a soul full of sand,
But girl, you’re stuck holdin’ a heavy man’s hand.

(Verse 2)
Caleb don’t talk much, keeps it all inside,
Buried so deep, ain’t nowhere to hide.
He jokes ‘bout the world like he don’t even care,
But that weight on his shoulders, girl, you’re stuck standin’ there.

(Chorus)
Oh Layne, you oughta run,
Find a love that don’t block out the sun.
You’re dancin’ in color, he’s drownin’ in gray,
Don’t let his storm clouds wash you away.

(Verse 3)
You see the best when the world’s lookin’ dim,
But babe, you can’t fix what’s broken in him.
You’re dreamin’ of laughter, he’s draggin’ you low,
Tell me, how long ‘fore you let go?

(Chorus)
Oh Layne, you oughta run,
Find a love that don’t block out the sun.
You’re dancin’ in color, he’s drownin’ in gray,
Don’t let his storm clouds wash you away.

(Bridge)
He don’t mean to, but he’ll pull you down,
Got his roots in the darkness, won’t turn it around.
And girl, you were made for the light and the sea,
Not for a man who won’t set himself free.

(Final Chorus)
Oh Layne, you oughta run,
Find a love that don’t block out the sun.
You’re dancin’ in color, he’s drownin’ in gray,
Don’t let his storm clouds wash you away.

(Outro)
So kiss him goodbye, don’t look back,
Go chase your waves, leave him in the past.
You’re too damn bright for a life in the shade,
Layne, go find love that don’t fade.
