00:00a well-made song will take you places that you would never expect to go and keep you company
00:21down a lot of roads. This song has come a long way with me. I'm Sheryl Crow and these are my
00:29words and my music.
00:39Life springs eternal on a gaudy neon street
00:44But I carry it all
00:48I spent the best part of my losing streak
00:55In an army jeep
00:56For what I can't recall
01:01Oh, I'm baying on my TV set
01:06And I check the hours and I
01:11And I place my bed
01:14Pour a drink and I
01:18Pull the blinds
01:20And I wonder what I'll find
01:24I'm leaving lost for you
01:26The light is so bright
01:33The palm is swearing
01:35Blackjack on a Saturday night
01:38I'm leaving lost for you
01:41I'm leaving for good
01:44I'm leaving for good
01:50I'm leaving for good
01:56Used to be I could drive up to Barstow for the night
02:07Find some cross-ride trucker
02:12Telling the street is mine
02:14These days it seems like
02:17Nowhere is far enough away
02:20So I'm leaving lost for you
02:21So I'm leaving lost for you
02:24So I'm leaving lost for you
02:28The light is so bright
02:33Blackjack on a Saturday night
02:36Leaving lost for you
02:38I'm leaving for good
02:43I'm leaving for good
02:47Oh, oh, for good
02:50Standing in the middle of the desert
02:55Waiting for a ship to come in
02:59Right now, no joker
03:04No jack and no king
03:07They take the season in
03:10And make it a win
03:13Oh, oh, oh
03:17Oh, I'm in a win
03:20Leaving lost the earth
03:28I'm leaving for good
03:31Oh, oh, oh
03:43I quit my job as a dancer
03:51In Lido Day Girls
03:54They had me dealing blackjack into one or two
03:58Such a muddy line between the things you want
04:05And the things you have to do
04:09I'm leaving lost the earth
04:14The light is so bright
04:19I promise, swear, and a blackjack on a Saturday night
04:23I'm leaving lost the earth
04:27I'm leaving for good
04:30I'm leaving for good
04:33Oh, I'm leaving lost the earth
04:38My eyes so bright
04:44On a Saturday night
04:46Leaving lost the earth
04:50I'm leaving lost the earth
05:01And I won't be back
05:07No, no, no, no
05:10Be back
05:11Not this time
05:45Well, that would be where you guys first met me.
05:51That song actually was on my first record, which came out in 1994, which was the last
05:58century.
06:01Literally by the time that record came out, I had lived nine lives.
06:06I had gone to college, I had gotten my degree in classical piano, I had gotten my secondary
06:11as a music school teacher.
06:13I played in cover bands, I played at weddings, bar mitzvahs, graduation parties.
06:19I got a job in St. Louis as an elementary school teacher.
06:22I taught kindergarten through six in the public school system and I have to say I did love
06:26it.
06:27All the while teaching and still playing in cover bands.
06:31And one night I'm playing and a producer comes in and asks me if I will sing a demo for a
06:36commercial.
06:37Probably will ring a bell, it's a good time for the great taste of McDonald's.
06:42So I felt like I'd really made it.
06:43But the crazy thing about it was that commercial took me 45 minutes to sing and it paid me more
06:50than the two years I taught school.
06:53So, what does that say?
06:55Anyway, I took that demo and it was filled with other jingles by this time and I moved
07:00to Los Angeles thinking, well I should be able to get work as a jingle singer and maybe people
07:06will hear my originals and give me a record deal.
07:09Well, I did actually eventually start getting jingle work, but not before I got a job waiting
07:15tables, which is what you do when you're a new artist.
07:18So, for anybody who's a waiter in here who needs a record deal, I know exactly how to
07:23do it.
07:24Anyway, I eventually got more work.
07:26I started singing jingles, I started singing on people's records and I overheard some singers
07:30talking about the Michael Jackson tour.
07:34And I thought, you know what, I'm going to go to the audition even though I'm not recommended,
07:38what's the worst thing that can happen?
07:39And so I went and I stood in front of their video camera and said, hi Mike, my name, can
07:45I call you Mike, my name is Sheryl Crow and I just moved here from St. Louis and I was
07:51a school teacher and I would love to go on the tour with you and I sang and then I got
07:55it.
07:56I'm a big believer in manifesting, so anyway, we went all over the world touring with this
08:04huge artist, probably the biggest artist maybe of all time, but definitely during that time
08:09I learned how to sing just like him, she says I am the one, so that I could double him.
08:15I mean, I was so in it and loved it and it was a crash course in the music industry and
08:21in touring and in becoming an artist.
08:23It was so high on life and then I came home and I went back to waiting tables.
08:27I sang more jingles and I got a publishing deal and I wrote songs and I had a song covered
08:33by Celine Dion and I had a song covered by Winona Judd and I had one covered by Tina Turner,
08:39but actually there was a night when I got called to sing on a Don Henley record that sort of
08:44my life changed because not only did I sing on his record, he became a bit of a mentor to
08:50me and he's the one that said you need to keep your songs for yourself.
08:53So he was very instrumental in me getting a record deal and sort of getting on the path.
08:59I did make an album for A&M Records and I didn't love the record so I went in and said,
09:06will you please not put it out?
09:07And they looked at me cross-eyed and were like, okay, they did not put it out, but I
09:12did sort of sit around for a year thinking they're going to drop me, they're going to
09:15drop me, I'm sure of it.
09:17And I met this producer, Bill Betrell and went in and we made a record called the Tuesday Night
09:22Music Club, which was a joy to make.
09:26And from that record, I toured clubs and I toured bars and I opened for bigger acts.
09:32And then at 33, I had a hit called All I Want to Do.
09:37And that is when I became an overnight sensation after about 15 years of really hard work and
09:44waiting tables.
09:46In 1995, I was nominated for five Grammys and I won three and one of them was actually
09:52for Best New Artist.
09:55Obviously it takes a long time to become a Best New Artist, but one of my favorite memories
10:00from that time actually is a fax that Don sent me.
10:03Do you guys remember faxes?
10:04He used to call me Pookie and it started off, dear Pookie, congratulations on winning Best
10:11New Artist.
10:12Please see below all those who have won before you.
10:14And then it was signed, good luck, Don.
10:17And there was a long list of people that we pretty much never heard from again.
10:20So anyway, I've played countless shows, I loaded in my gear, I loaded out my gear.
10:25We went from like a moving van to an RV, which was a big day.
10:31This time it was different.
10:32We visited radio stations and we did interviews and we became huge in Colorado and France.
10:42And so for about a year we toured Colorado and France, weed and wine, just weed and wine.
10:51But I think actually later in 1994 is when I felt my career started to shift and it was
10:58largely because I was invited to do a three-day festival that was Woodstock, the 25th anniversary.
11:06And I have to say, I'm a huge fan of all the artists that were on the original Woodstock.
11:10So for me to get to play it, I was one of only two women.
11:13It was not only a thrill, but an honor.
11:15And also it changed things for me because people started to recognize me and radio stations
11:19added me and TV shows started calling.
11:22I got to do Letterman, I got to do Saturday Night Live and things really started to change.
11:26And it was, it really was that moment where I felt like maybe this music thing's going
11:32to pan out after all.
11:33I used to ride with a vending machine repairman, you'd sip it down this world more than twice.
12:00He was high on intellectualism I've never been there, but the brochure looks nice
12:09Jump in, let's go Lay back, enjoy the show
12:19Everybody gets high, everybody gets low These are the days when anything goes
12:28Every day is a winding road I get a little bit closer
12:37Every day is a faded sign I get a little bit closer
12:47Feeling fine
12:48Feeling fine
12:50He's got a daughter he calls Easter She was born on a Tuesday night
13:06I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone I'm a stranger in my own life
13:13Jump in, let's go Lay back, enjoy the show
13:25Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
13:32These are the days when anything goes
13:34Every day is a winding road I get a little bit closer
13:44Every day is a faded sign I get a little bit closer
13:53Every day is a winding road I get a little bit closer
14:03Every day is a faded sign I get a little bit closer
14:10Every day is a faded sign I get a little bit closer
14:14Feeling fine
14:23One, two, three, four
14:25I've been living in a sea of anarchy I've been living on coffee and nicotine
14:44I've been living in a sea of anarchy I've been living on coffee and nicotine
14:54I've been living in all the things I've seen were ever real
15:01Ever really happening, ever really happening
15:06Every day is a winding road I get a little bit closer
15:13Every day is a faded sign I get a little bit closer
15:26Every day is a winding road I get a little bit closer
15:35Every day is a faded sign I get a little bit closer
15:42I get a little bit closer to feeling fine, feeling fine, every day is a winding road, every day is a winding road.
16:12Well, it is a fantastic and yet very interesting predicament to have to compete with a very successful first record.
16:31My first record, the Tuesday Night Music Club record, sold 8 million copies and that's a lot of records.
16:38And so when I went in to make the second record, anything short of 8 million would have been deemed like the sophomore slump.
16:44So, definitely felt a lot of pressure because there's just, there's no handbook for how to become famous.
16:51And there's nothing that tells you to not take things personally, you know, having critics write that your show sucked or your voice wasn't great or that your hair looked like a soccer mom, you know, when you get your hair cut.
17:04Just, you know, little stupid things that you take personally, you take, take to heart.
17:08There's just definitely nothing to prepare you for that.
17:11And definitely nothing to prepare you for the little betrayals from people that you thought you could trust.
17:17You know, I tell people this all the time.
17:20If there was a category in your high school book that said least likely to become a rock star, that it would have been my picture.
17:27I was in the choir. I was like a music nerd. I was the drum majorette. I was a really good girl. I made really good grades.
17:35You could tell I was a good girl. You can look at my hairdos. Like I had the Dorothy Hamill wedge, right? I had the Tennille thing turn in.
17:42I think I even had the Olivia Newton-John Let's Get Physical haircut. That might have been college, but you know.
17:48And definitely rocked the Stevie Nicks shag.
17:52But my parents always said if you're a good person and you treat other people well and you do your best, good things will happen.
17:58But I was definitely not prepared for some of the things that were written about me in those early days.
18:03Things that doubted my talent and my authenticity and even whether I had written my own album.
18:09So it's interesting to look back at the artwork because artwork, I think, a lot of times will document who you were at any given moment.
18:15So for me, the first record, the art would look like I could have been in better homes and garden.
18:21And I'm like, yeah, y'all come over and have some cappuccino or play Mahjong.
18:25And then the second record looks like, do not fuck with me.
18:30I'm about to go in and rob a 7-Eleven. So don't get in my way. I will jack you up.
18:36Anyway, suffice it to say, by the time I got to make my second record, I had a lot to say.
18:42And the liberation really of being in New Orleans, which was totally away from the music industry and also getting to produce myself
18:50and getting to bring in my two buddies, Jeff Trott and Brian McCloud,
18:55and also working with a badass female engineer named Trina Shoemaker.
19:00The whole experience was so liberating and that was really what announced who I really was as an artist and as a person.
19:08So this was really my introduction to Sheryl Crow.
19:20I've been long, long away from here, put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes, drank till I was thirsty again.
19:48I went searching through thrift store jungles.
19:58Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo, Benny Goodman's corset and band.
20:08And, I went and brought in a lot of inspiration.
20:09But OK, I made this up.
20:13I promised you I'd never give up.
20:17If it makes you happy.
20:24It can't be that bad.
20:27If it makes you happy.
20:31Then why the hell are you so sad
20:36You get down
20:46In a real lowdown
20:51You're listening to Coltrane
20:57Dearing your own train
20:59Who hasn't been there before
21:03I come around
21:06Around the hard way
21:11Bring your comics in bed
21:16Scrape a mold off the bread
21:19And serve you French toast again
21:22Well okay, I still get stoned
21:27I'm not the kind of girl you take home
21:31If it makes you happy
21:35It can't be that right
21:41If it makes you happy
21:45Then why the hell are you so sad
21:50If it makes you happy
21:54It can't be that right
22:00If it makes you happy
22:04Then why the hell are you so sad
22:08Then why the hell are you so sad
22:11I don't know
22:13But why the hell are you so sad
22:15I don't know
22:17I don't know
22:19I don't know
22:20I don't know
22:21But why the hell are you so sad
22:23We've been far, far away from here
22:46We put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
22:52Everywhere in between
22:55We're okay, we get along
23:00So what if right now everything's wrong
23:05That makes you happy
23:08It can't be that bad
23:14That makes you happy
23:18Then why the hell are you so sad
23:24If it makes you happy
23:27It can't be that bad
23:33If it makes you happy
23:37Then why the hell are you so sad
23:42Oh
23:53Oh
23:58Oh
24:01Oh
24:03Oh
24:05Oh
24:07Oh
24:09Oh
24:11Oh
24:13Oh
24:15Oh
24:17Oh
24:19Well I don't think I'm typically known for writing lyrics like Bob Dylan
24:36Although I will say I've never gone into the studio to work on a record that I did not carry in a Bob Dylan lyric book
24:42But in this particular instance when I returned from playing for the troops in Bosnia
24:47The verses to this song poured out of me as if Bob was in my ear going hey that sounds pretty good
24:53The song literally was just one stanza after another and it was called Redemption Day
25:00And it asked the same question that I ask myself every day still which is about our involvement as a nation
25:08Our investments in other countries conflicts
25:11And Redemption Day was definitely not a hit song
25:14But I think the greatest acknowledgement for me was Johnny Cash
25:19He wanted to record it and the story is is that in May in 2003 Johnny called me and said that June had passed
25:27June Carter Cash which is his wife and he asked me if I would sing at her funeral which for me was a very high honor
25:32And I'd never sung at a funeral so I called my mom who in our hometown she sang at everybody's funeral because she has the best voice
25:41So I called her I said mom I don't know how am I even gonna get through this and she said well
25:46Well actually it's more like this well
25:48What you do is first you don't look at Johnny?
25:53And you try to look over everyone's heads and think about anything other than what you're doing
25:58Okay, I think I can do that so
26:01I'm standing there with Emmylou Harris and we're getting ready to sing every grain of sand by Bob Dylan
26:07First thing I do when Johnny walks out is I look straight at him
26:11Got through it got through it
26:13But about three weeks after June's funeral Johnny got me on the phone and he said he had heard Redemption Day
26:21His son-in-law had played it for him and he wanted to record it and make it the cornerstone of his record
26:27Now his wife had just passed away and literally he said I feel like I'm not done yet
26:31I have more to say and he explained to me that this song needed to be heard in that moment
26:36In relationship to what was going on in the country at that time
26:39And that was during the Iraq Afghanistan war
26:43And he asked me one question after another about what was this line for?
26:46Why did you write this?
26:47What's the intent of the song?
26:49And this was a man who stood for things that were not popular
26:52He fought for the rights of Native Americans
26:55He stood up against the Vietnam War when that was not popular at the risk of angering his fan base
27:02He was a man of total integrity
27:05He was a strong man and yet he shared the fragility of his own journey with addiction and his faith in God
27:11But before he would sing this song he wanted to be sure he could align himself with what he was singing
27:16And I think that's one of the reasons that we loved and trusted Johnny Cash
27:20Because when he sang to us we knew that what he was singing was what he stood behind
27:24He recorded his version of the song and then he sent it to me and called me and asked me what I thought
27:29And what am I gonna say?
27:30I mean I was just like boo-hooing
27:32As you do when you're talking to Johnny Cash about a song you've written and he's recorded
27:38Unfortunately he passed away about three months later
27:41And his version of the song didn't come out for many years
27:45But it's still a beautiful, beautiful testimony
28:06I've wept for those who suffer long
28:10But how are we for those who've gone
28:15In the rooms of grief and question wrong
28:19But keep on killing
28:22It's in the soul to feel such things
28:29But weak to watch without speaking
28:34Oh when mercy sadness brings
28:36Oh when mercy sadness brings
28:40If God be willing
28:46There is a train
28:48That's headed straight
28:50To heaven's gate
28:52To heaven's gate
28:54And on the way
28:58The way
28:59Child and man
29:01And woman
29:03Wait
29:04Watch and wait
29:05Watch and wait
29:06For redemption day
29:11The fire rages in the street
29:17And swallows everything it meets
29:22It swallows everything it meets
29:27It's just an image often seen on television
29:37Come leaders, come you men of great
29:42Let us hear you pontificate
29:45Your many virtues
29:48Your many virtues
29:49Lead to waste
29:50And we aren't listening
29:53There is a train
29:58That's headed straight
30:00To heaven's gate
30:03To heaven's gate
30:05And on the way
30:08Child and man
30:10And woman
30:12Watched
30:15And woman
30:17Wait
30:18Watch and wait
30:19For redemption day
30:26What do you have
30:27For us today
30:31Throw us a bone
30:33But save the blade
30:34On the way
30:36You waited till
30:37So late
30:39Was there no oil to excavate?
30:44No riches in trade for the fate
30:46Of every person who died in hate
30:49There was a bone you men of grace
30:53There is a train that's headed straight
31:00To heaven's gate, heaven's gate
31:05And on the way, child and man
31:10And woman wait
31:13Watch and wait
31:16For redemption day
31:20It's buried in the countryside
31:32It's hidden in the shells of night
31:38It's everywhere a baby cries
31:43Freedom
31:46Freedom
31:51Freedom
31:56Freedom
31:57I'm really going to date myself here, but I was a kid who grew up playing record albums, those big black things with a hole in the middle.
32:04I'm really going to date myself here, but I was a kid who grew up playing record albums, those big black things with a hole in the middle, the needle, anyway.
32:14And I would pour over the liner notes and all the pictures and the list of musicians on every record, and I knew everybody on every record.
32:21And we had like a big Magnavox console that had like a big Magnavox console that had like a record player on one side and a reel-to-reel player on the other side and then on top of like this big thing were these big speakers and I knew everybody on every record.
32:40And I would lay on the ground shag carpeting in front of those speakers and I would listen to like Tapestry and Mudside Slim and the Blue Horizon and Inner Visions and Highway 61 and Rumors and Blue and Alfie, Burt Bacharach, I mean talk about the soundtrack to your life.
32:55Those albums were my imaginary one-way ticket out of my hometown of three stoplights and a Dairy Queen, it's impossible for me to process my life and the good fortune that I've had to play with so many of the heroes whose albums were my imaginary one-way ticket out of my hometown of three stoplights and a Dairy Queen.
33:16It's impossible for me to process my life and the good fortune that I've had to play with so many of the heroes whose albums I poured over.
33:26It's hard for me to imagine that a teenager sitting in a tiny town at Blatemore Drugs on the square in Kennett, Missouri, drinking Coca-Cola out of a bottle and studying the pictures of like Fleetwood Mac and the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin in music magazines.
33:40That I would go on to sing Honky Tonk Woman with Mick Jagger or that I would share the stage with Stevie Nicks or play accordion with Bob Dylan or jam with Johnny and Willie and Eric, let alone becoming friends with so many of my musical heroes.
33:54Like I said, I'm a big believer in manifesting, but I've been damn lucky.
33:58And I will say it's very interesting to be a working, traveling musician on the road, tour buses, planes, the whole thing.
34:06And when you're on the road, you're always on the road.
34:08And sometimes your life intersects with other famous traveling musicians.
34:15And when I say intersects, I'm going to leave it there.
34:20I've been pretty private about who I've intersected with.
34:26But I would say that good or bad, there's been a blessing in every relationship that I've had.
34:33I always tell my audiences, I've loved some really amazing people and I've loved some other people, too.
34:41So let's leave it at that and you guys can try and figure out the rest.
34:44Thank you very much.
35:14I woke up and called this morning
35:21The tone of your voice was a warning
35:25That you don't care for me anymore
35:31I'm made of the bed we sleep in
35:40I look to the clock when you're creeping
35:44It's 6am and I'm alone
35:50Did you know when you go is the perfect ending
35:59To the bad day I was just beginning
36:04When you go, all I know is what my favorite mistake
36:09Your friends are sorry for me
36:28They watch you pretend to adore me
36:33Oh, but I'm no fool to escape
36:39And here comes your favorite lover
36:46She'll be young like any other
36:51Until your guilt goes up in my place
36:58Did you know when you go is the perfect ending
37:06To the bad day I've gotten used to spending
37:11When you go, all I know is what my favorite mistake
37:16You're my favorite mistake
37:22Maybe nothing lasts forever
37:30Even when you stay together
37:34I'll need forever after
37:40It's your laughter
37:42Don't let me go, so I'm falling on this way
37:51Did you know, could you tell
38:08You were the only one
38:11That I ever loved
38:15Everything's so
38:18Did you see me walking by
38:30Did it ever make you cry

39:11well I've been around long enough now that I'm considered a legacy artist which
39:17means I'm as old as Moses and of course I always say that I think the Grammy
39:22should should give out best old artists as well as best new artists really at
39:27the end of the day all of us have the same emotions it's just the experience
39:32looks different we love and we hate we pass through joy and fear and
39:37disappointment and contentment and songs I think they allow us to experience those
39:44memories and emotions over and over again and they give us comfort and
39:49companionship and fun and solace I mean how many times do you hear a song and go
39:53oh my gosh that's exactly how I feel makes us feel like we're not alone right
39:58there is a song for every mom and dad who watched a kid grow up a son or daughter
40:04who taught you more than you could ever teach them which is definitely my
40:09experience I thank my kids every day for teaching me how to be a better person I
40:14also take the keys and the phone when they are acting like little shits but you
40:21know my older son actually is leaving for college soon and I'm learning the true
40:26exercise that love is letting go and I'm gonna say right now I don't like it don't
40:32like it you might find yourself saying goodbye to your child while you're also
40:36letting go of a parent and for me this is where it gets tricky my mom has no
40:43more memories she has no recollection of bringing me into the world or singing
40:48to me as a baby of teaching me to play the piano but when she sits next to me on
40:54the piano bench and I play her old favorite songs she comes back for as long as that
41:00song lasts she sings at the top of her lungs and she is my mom and we're still
41:06connected through the first language that we shared music is where I find my
41:11mom when you're young you don't count moments you just don't even notice when
41:17you're older you understand that every moment of being present is a moment that
41:22continues to make you who you are and we hold those moments inside songs
41:29play down your head don't you worry tonight can't fix the world no matter how you try give it some time you can't fix the world
41:44Around your head, don't you worry tonight
41:49Can't fix the world, no matter how you try
41:56Give it some time, you will find everything is all right
42:09There's no such thing as forever
42:13But you and me, we've got to do
42:20Every moment we're together
42:26I know there is a heaven
42:29Cause you make me feel that way
42:34When I get down, you're the one that I call
42:47You pick me up every time that I call
42:54And when you lie, nothing else matters to me at all
43:02There's no such thing as forever
43:12But you and me, we've got to do
43:19Every moment we're together
43:25I know there is a heaven
43:28Cause you make me feel that way
43:35Carbage down in space
43:49Burbage in the lake
43:50Baby, what a race
43:52Everybody's mad, everybody's sad
43:57See it in their face
43:59Gotta have the latest, gotta have the best, the most
44:04If you wanna be happy, light a match
44:06And let it all go up in the smoke
44:09There's no such thing as forever
44:14There's no such thing as forever
44:18But you and me, we've got to do
44:21But you and me, we've got to do
44:25Every moment we're together
44:31I know there is a heaven
44:34Cause you make me feel that way
44:39No such thing as forever

45:01Cause you make me feel that way
45:06Thank you
45:16I have to introduce my band tonight
45:20Tim Smith
45:21I just have one last time
45:36Last little thing to say
45:37And that is
45:37If I'm honest with myself
45:40What art is, is a picture of who you are
45:43At any given moment
45:44And looking back on my career
45:47And my body of work
45:48I could safely say
45:49It is pretty honest
45:51She was born in November
45:561963
45:58The day Aldous Huxley died
46:02And her mama believed
46:07Every man should be free
46:11But her mama got high
46:13And her daddy marched on Birmingham
46:19Singing mighty protest songs
46:23And he pictured all the places
46:26He knew that she belonged
46:28He failed and taught her young
46:32The only thing she need to know
46:35To carry on
46:39He taught her how to run
46:43Baby, run, baby, run
46:46Baby, run, baby, run
46:50Run, baby, run, baby, run
47:03Pass the arms of the familiar
47:09And their talk of better days
47:13To the comfort of the strangers
47:17Slipping out before they say
47:20Baby, run, baby, run, baby, run
47:32She counts out all the money
47:35In the taxi on the way
47:38To meet her plane
47:40She stares hopeful out the window
47:47The workers fighting through
47:51The pouring rain
47:54And she's searching through the stations
48:00For an unfamiliar song
48:04And she pictures all the places
48:07She knows that she belongs
48:10She smiles a secret smile
48:13So she knows exactly how
48:16To carry on
48:20Oh, yeah
48:22Run, baby, run
48:25Baby, run, baby, run
48:28Baby, run
48:30Run, baby, run

48:43From their all-familiar faces
48:50And their all-familiar ways
48:54To the comfort of the strangers
48:56Slipping out before they say
49:00Baby, run, baby, run
49:04Baby, run, baby, run
49:06Baby, run, baby, run
49:10And she's searching through the stations
49:34For an unfamiliar song
49:37And she pictures all the places
49:41She knows she still belongs
49:44She smiles a secret smile
49:47So she knows exactly how
49:50To carry on
49:54Run baby, run, baby, run
