Back Story
Wrote this one with Craig Wiseman. I love how this song turned out. It was awesome writing this one with Craig. It was fasten the seat belts and hold on for the ride. He's stellar. Craig sang on the demo, I like the way he really digs in with honesty, there's a lot of soul in that big loud shirt.

Listen To Song: Hi-Fi

OUTRUN THE SUN
(Craig Wiseman / Kent Forward)

VERSE:
MIDNIGHT, HEADLIGHTS, WHITE LINES
PLANET ROLLING UNDER MY MICHELINS
CAUTION LIGHT, SLOW DOWN, SMALL TOWN
LET THE NEON PULL ME IN
SITTING IN A TRUCK STOP LISTENING TO THE JUKEBOX

CHORUS:
SINGIN' 'BOUT A BROWN EYED GIRL
LIKE IT KNEW I WAS SITTING THERE MISSING HER
RIGHT BACK AT SQUARE ONE
TRYING TO OUTRUN THE SUN
DOESN’T MATTER WHERE I TURN
THIS SIDE OF ALL THE BRIDGES I BURNED
OH, THE HURT’S JUST BOUND TO COME
TRYING TO OUTRUN THE SUN

VERSE:
WEST BOUND, HAMMER DOWN, TRYING TO MAKE THE NIGHT LAST
THERE’S ANOTHER TIME ZONE UP AHEAD
PHONE BOOTH PASSING BY, EVERY ONE’S ANOTHER CHANCE
TO SAY THE WORDS I NEVER DID
SUNRISE IN THE REAR VIEW, BLACK TURNING BLUE

CHORUS:
BLUER THAN THE SIGHT OF SAPPHIRE
RISING UP BEHIND ME AND OVER ME
MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE
TRYING TO OUTRUN THE SUN
DOESN’T MATTER WHERE I TURN
THIS SIDE OF ALL THE BRIDGES I BURNED
OH, THE HURT’S JUST BOUND TO COME
TRYING TO OUTRUN THE SUN

CHORUS:	Repeat 1st Chorus
MISSING YOU IS BOUND TO COME
TRYING TO OUTRUN THE SUN
