Jethro says the sun is shining
but he says its got to go
I hope hope he’s got it all mixed up
cause this darkness has got to blow

I’ve been thinking about what’s been happening
and I’m getting pretty low
Its hard to see which way is up
I guess but I don’t know

Running away from your troubles
Where will you ever be?
Running away from your troubles
When will you ever see?

Jerry says to keep on truckin’
cause this trip is strange and long
Strange I might just believe
but not too long, he’s gone.

I’ve been thinking about what’s been happening
and I thought I’d write this song
Still don’t know which way is up
I guess but could be wrong

Running away from your troubles
Where will you ever be?
Running away from your troubles
When will you ever see?

Where will you ever be?
When will you ever see?

I don’t know why I try to put down
things I know are right
I’m not much clearer than a
man in black running at night

I’ve been thinking about what’s been happening
and maybe soon I will see
Where to run to from my troubles
to be where I can be free

Running away from your troubles
Where will you ever be?
Running away from your troubles
When will you ever see?
