Story Behind The Song
Bryan was visited by the muse. I think he was playing this rhythm on his guitar and just allowed a movie to play in his mind.

Lyrics
RUNNING AWAY FROM THE PAST--------WORDS AND MUSIC BY BRYAN COLE??publishing Administered by Five Feathers Music,BMI(678-560-0205)
IN THIS TOWN, PEOPLE TALK MORE THAN THEY OUGHT TO
IN THIS TOWN, THEY PUT THEIR NOSE WHERE IT DON?T BELONG
?CAUSE THEY DON?T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND I HAVE A PLAN
AND YOU KNOW WE?VE GONE TOO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW
(chorus)
MAYBE IF WE DRIVE FAST ENOUGH, TIME WON?T EVER CATCH UP TO US
WE?LL KEEP ON ROLLIN? ?TIL WE RUN OUT OF GAS
RUNNING AWAY FROM THE PAST
WE?LL START OVER, SOMEPLACE NOBODY KNOWS US
SOME TUMBLEWEED TOWN, ALL TRAILERS AND DUST
AS LONG AS I?M WITH YOU, ANY OLD PLACE WILL DO
AND YOU KNOW WE?VE COME TOO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW
(REPEAT CHORUS)
THEY?RE ALWAYS TRYING TO DRAG US DOWN
BECAUSE WE DREAM TOO BIG FOR THIS LITTLE ONE HORSE TOWN
(REPEAT CHORUS)
