This whole FAWM thing is MAGIC! I woke up, grabbed a guitar and roughed out verse and chorus. Then I spent the rest of the day lifting this up to something resembling a finished 1/3 of a song! I may add another verse and bridge or I may work on that later. Anyway, I like how this one is going! And, as a bonus for busy FAWMers, this is only a little over a minute long currently! 😀

Runnin' Away February 8, 2026 https://johnstaplesmusic.com/FAWM2026/JohnStaples-RunninAway.mp3

I was just a little kid when I saw what you did but I didn't know what to say kept a walkin' the line and a bidin' my time I knew that you'd be gone some day but when things were gettin' worse like a voodoo curse I had to do more than just pray that's the day that I started thinkin' thinkin' 'bout runnin' away

runnin' away that's what I do runnin' away from you when the goin' gets tough then I get a goin' you know that I won't stay daddy I'm runnin' away
