After listening to this original, you might be tempted to call me a 'commitment phobe.' It's probably alright to give into that temptation.

Story behind the song
I was suffering a particularly bad attack of both restless feet and a restless heart. Instead of packing up for yet another move, I wrote this song.
Lyrics
Woke up in a smokey haze
Tangled sheets, the floor's a maze
Of scattered clothes and empty cans
I did it all again
Last night slipped my mind
I count my blessings
'cause I find
I don't want the details of my life
Chorus
'Cause I wake every day
with no money to run
but no reason to stay
And I know, I know
what I said
And I swear I meant it
when I did
My life's a swinging door
Of characters, and I'm not sure
friend or foe,
my enemies, they hold me close at night
Morning comes
again I find
They've rocked me sweet
and robbed me blind
One more story
for the book
I tell with hesitance
Chorus
'Cause I wake every day
with no money to run
but no reason to stay
And I know, I know
what I said
And I think I meant it
when I did
Bridge
I'm so glad I got away
We both knew I'd never stay
I just beat you to the door
C'mon, we both knew the score
I'm a hard woman to love
And when push came down to shove
At the end of every day
I'm so glad I got away (repeat)
I can't stand to be alone
Click my heels to get back home
where I left you standing there
On that August day
If I can run fast enough
and maybe with a little luck
I can leave you
and that day behind
Chorus
'Cause I wake every day
with no money to run
but no reason to stay
And I know, I know
what I said
But I can't tell you why
I did anymore
