Its been a couple months since we both left home
I've been running here for miles, you won't answer your phone
know that I never want to leave you on your own,
but the bobbies they came close, so you know I had to go

Feels like I been running this time since time began
I must'a lost track of the days and it over ran
I tried to play the show but they just told me no
and then they never stopped coming, now I'm falling off
the edge I'm sitting, 'cos this city life you know it's getting me down,
you know it never stops, you see it always spins round
such a rush everywhere, I'm close to melt down but
If you stop and stand in the road you get knocked down
I only show my face in the night, I know I'm letting you down

But I'm the Smooth Runner
Tell Mumma that I love her
I'm the smooth runner
No time to play the lover
I'm the smooth runner
I don't wish it on no one
shoulda played my life out different
send the word out to my brother

Should never started that fight
We were living it right
we were working through it yeh
Life was at our finger tips
But the bottle always got in the way
And now we're never gonna finish this
When the five-oh come my way
my life they're straight up binnin' it

And when the get me I'll be out'a luck
So send my love to my babies
'cos you know I aint walkin'
might be some time
So make sure its the truth they know
That I'll always try to be there and one day I'll show them so

Tell them that I love em if its a long time coming
and baby no its no joke no I won't be forgotten
Ill be there with everytime that I'm down
don't make no sound
Cos you know that they'll be sad when I'm no longer around

Cos' I'm the Smooth Runner
Tell Mumma that I love her
I'm the smooth runner
No time to play the lover
I'm the smooth runner
I don't wish it on no one
shoulda played my life out different
send the word out to my brother
com on

Your a Mum and I'm a dad we can't keep going on, this way
Its bad enough this babies dont know if theyr gonna see us each day each day
I know I'm no help the way I am and there's nothing else that I can say
But if we keep on going this way, they're gonna take 'em both away

Smooth Runner
you're my last chance girl
You and them are all I've got
What little I had is lost
every time that I'm out it don't take long till I drop

I'm The Smooth Runner
'Cos I got no where to turn
Just got some cash made up to burn
And though I'm feeling the cost
I'm a keep on going this way 'cos I feel my life is lost
I am the Smooth Runner
