(Verse 1)
I run to forget you
Til’ I can’t breathe no more
The ghost of your presence
Comes a-knocking at my door
Through the water, through the mud
You’re nipping at my heels
But we both know if you’ll have me
I’ll see no greener fields

If’n we get tangled up
I’ll see no greener fields

(Verse 2)
The day that I first met you
You were young and so was I
And many years had passed
By the time we said goodbye
Now though I haven’t seen you
There’s part of me that feels
No matter how far I may run
I’ll see no greener fields

Even if I run forever
I’ll see no greener fields
(Verse 3)
I’m halfway down the river
But you’re pulling me back up
Getting tired, getting thirsty
But you’re poisoning my cup
I’d climb the highest mountain
Till it’s beauty is revealed
And as I gaze in wonder
I’ll see no greener fields

As I look over the pastures
I’ll see no greener fields

(Verse 4)
Over my own feet, I stumble
As I teeter on the edge
And the meadows down below me
Start racing through my head
What if all of this running
My fate, it now has sealed
I take my final breath and fall
I’ll see no greener fields

Now my race is over
I’ll see no greener fields
