RUN

My first baseball game
second grade I believerecess out on the playgroundthey didn't use a baseballit was a soccer sized ballyou whacked at it with the batand then you ranthat's what I saw the other kids doyou ran
I didn't know one thing about baseball I didn't know you were supposed to stop at the base when the ball was being thrown there and someone called out SAFE!or OUT!mom's Second Big Mistake having shown me nothing 'bout anything'cept how to be passive aggressiveso I just kept runningrunning homebecause I didn't know you knowand the kids thought I was dumb or somethingor maybe had a screw loose'cause next time up I did it againand they were yelling STOPbut I kept on running running homeand I didn't look back
And when it came time to bust out ofthat little town years down the lineI ranand kept on runningrunning away from home 
And I didn't look back
