Golden Earring

Songwriter: George Kooymans Barry Hay

Who’s that runnin’ scared in sight?
Of the morning and the death of night?

Getting tired like a sinkin’ stone
Lost a fire long time ago
And I try to understand
I’m stunned and don’t know where it ends

Who’s that runnin’ scared in sight?
Of the morning and the death of night?

Dope runner
Dope runner

Turn around home
(Turn around home)
Turn around home
(Turn around home)
Turn around home, everyone

Buy some
(Buy some)
Try some
(Try some)
Sell it for half price, everyone

Who’s that guy with the kids and wife?
Poorly swept and ran with his life

Here’s the moment of no return
He’s got a ticket and he’s ready to go
Still tryin’ to understand
I’m stunned and don’t know where it ends

Who’s that runnin’ scared in sight?
Of the morning and the death of night?

Dope runner
Dope runner

Turn home
(Turn home)
Turn home
(Turn home)
Turn home, everyone

Buy some
(Buy some)
Try some
(Try some)
Sell it for half horse shit, everyone

Turn home
(Turn home)
Turn home
(Turn home)
Turn home, everyone

Buy some
(Buy some)
Try some
(Try some)
Sell it for half horse shit, everyone
