It's been a couple months since we both left home
I 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' ave lost track of the time 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 its getting me down
It never stops you see it always spins round
such a rush every where, I'm close to melt down
I only show my face in the night
'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 other
Should have spent 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
Life was at our fingertips
but the bottle always got in the way
Now we're never gonna finish this
When the Five-oh come my way
My life you know they're binnin' it

And when they get me
I'll be out of luck
So send my love to my babies
'cos you know I ain't walking
Might be some time
So make sure it's the truth they know
That I've always tried to be there and one day I'll show them so
Tell them that I'm sorry if its a long time coming
And baby know it no joke
No I won't be forgotten
I'll be there with you every time 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 other
Should have spent my life out different
Send the word out to my brother

You're a mum and I'm a dad we can't keep going on
This way, this way
It's bad enough the babies don't know if they 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'r gonna take em both away

'Cos I'm the Smooth Runner
You're my last chance girl
You and them are all ive got
What little I had I've lost
Every time that I'm out
It don't take long till I drop

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