A Million Ways to Run Terri Clark

In the basement of the church
I took the last chair in the room
Embarrassed and ashamed
But that all began to change
When she stood up and spoke her truth

She said I came here years ago
When I lost my sanity
I hit an all-time low
But then I found serenity

I took shelter hiding from the pain
In any place to make it go away

In the arms of a stranger
Keeping company with danger
Or staring down the barrel of a gun
At the bottom of a bottle
Getting numb with every swallow
'Cause it's easy, when it's what you've always done
With a million ways to run

I was the first one out the door
But her words echoed in my head
I took the long way home
But no longer felt alone
'Cause I'd lived everything she said
