Flannel Shirt from Sweet Action by RL Heyer

FLANNEL SHIRT
The first time I ran away
Black combat boots down the railroad tracks
Teenage angst and the longing
To be free to float through life
Just like my hooded flannel shirt

The next time I ran away
Set my bible down on the stairs and ran
Up the rocky, moonlit hillside
To the railroad tracks, then I heard my father right behind me
He had torn my flannel shirt

We’ve all made some awful choices
It’s not the same as evil intentions

Now, I’ll never run away
If you run too far, you’re right back where you started
Like the sun shows its face to everyone
Its warming glow can do so much more
Than a flannel shirt
