Running Out Of Tears
Words and Music 
John Eddie

Met you brother back when you were wild and young
You did your best to live out ever line from born to run
You made a whole lotta noise and broke some hearts along the way
But not as many brother as you broke today
Now I’m standing here with your friends and your family 
I’m running outta tears singing what you meant to me

You were my one too many on a few too many Friday nights
You were a rock star man you shoulda had your name in lights
You had a house full of heroes 
Signed and framed photographs
And I’m still not sure you didn’t forge those autographs 
I miss my morning coffee and talks with my dear friend 
And I’m coming up short singing just how much you meant

Time rolls on and old friends they drift apart
That young girl came along and tamed your wild heart
You had two kids and you lived in the love that you had found
Well you settled for the best
when you settled down
I see your daughter and your son 
And I know that you’re still here
You meant the world to everyone
And we’re all running outta tears
You meant the world to everyone 
And we’re all running outta tears

Running Out Of Tears

That’s me when I was somebody
That’s me when I had friends
When everybody loved me
And I had lots of cash to spend
On the road to fame and glory
Well sometimes that story ends
That’s me when I was young and hungry
On a wall of 8x10s

There’s Jimmy in the corner
Man that boy came so close
The last time I saw Jimmy
Man he looked just like a ghost
This town has a way of killing you
It’ll get you in the end
Until your tombstones old and faded
On a wall of 8x10s

8x10s
8x10s
Behind the bar a thousand stars
Captured by the camera lens
Some never were
Some should have been
Oh Lord
And some who got what they deserved
On a wall of 8x10s

Last week some young kid walked in here
Looking to change the world
With the guitar his daddy left him
And some songs about some girl
Words scribbled on a napkin
Someday we’ll say we knew him then
Either that or what will happen
He’ll join the wall of 8x10s

8x10s
8x10s
Behind the bar a thousand stars
Captured by the camera lens
Some never were
Some should have been
Oh Lord
some who got what they deserved
On a wall of 8x10s
Some who got what they deserved
On a wall of 8x10s
And some who got what they deserved
On a wall
Of 8x10s
