Hit and Run

Jack Bruce


Hit and Run 
(Brown/Bruce)

I'm still feeling the ecstasy
Out in the midnight air
I see lovers among the trees
Wondering if you are there
You're not leaving much time for me
It's such a sad affair

You call me on the phone and say
You want to know me
You tell me you're alone and say
You want me baby
You know I'm not the only one
Playing at hit and run
Hit and run

It was another place
And love was winning
Now it's a different race
Have to begin once again

I don't hear the same violins
Playing out in the rain
I just see long black cadilacs
Cruising the streets again
You're not stopping me in my tracks
Missing the morning train

You've been working like hell 
Trying to sell yourself
You've been working like hell
Trying to sell baby
You know I'm not the only one
Playing at Hit and Run
Hit and Run

You've been working like hell
Trying to sell yourself
You've been working like hell 
Trying to sell baby
You cut off all my love
And say that you own me
You cut off all my love and say
You own me baby
You know I'm not the only one
Playing at hit and run
I'm not the only one
Playing at hit and run
Hit and run
