I left Round Mountain when the last church closed its doors Half the town was leavin' and they wouldn't miss one more Change had been a-comin' and I guess that it changed me Into a woman who was willin' to abandon a family Run away from Round Mountain Run away Miss Emily Married much too young and took no time to bring a life Into a world where husbands broke their backs for homes run by their wives Just a baby raisin' babies, I made mistakes and would make more 'Til I ran out chasin' voices that beckoned me from my back door Run away from Round Mountain Run away Miss Emily Now I'm headed down to a place where copper wishes go Tell the ones I left behind I can't do this anymore All of my transgressions are too heavy to drag around And the weight they put on me will surely let me sink right down Our four kids were growin' while inside of me a son I won't stay to be ashamed at the things I know I've done I was lonely when I let another's husband share my bed While mine was plowin' fields, I was breakin' vows instead Letras de cancionesAnd I looked down into darkness, and I looked up and felt it burn It was hotter than the fires of hell my crimes would surely earn I knew what I was doin' as I climbed up and jumped in Let the murky water cool me, let it wash away my sins Now I'm headed down to a place where copper wishes go Tell the ones I left behind I can't do this anymore All of my transgressions are too heavy to drag around And the weight they put on me will surely let me sink right down Run away from Round Mountain Run away Miss Emily Run away from Round Mountain Run away Miss Emily From Letras Mania
