Anejo Lyrics - Singles - April Wine

Written by: myles goodwyn 

There was blood on the table 

And there were tears in the wine 

With a sole invitation 

To lay it on the line 

She said somebody help me 

Somebody help me break free 

And there were eyes in the darkness 

And they were looking at me 

We started runnin' through the dead of the night 

I said mama, mama, mama we'll make it alright 

Running that anejo - layin' it on the line 

Running that anejo - trying to make it clean 

Running that anejo - man, we were running blind 

It was five in the morning 

There was no way out 

All the shapes in the moonlight 

And there was no doubt 

I said "nobody move" 

So we wouldn't be seen 

Such a beautiful lady 

And only 17 

When it was time to run and test our fate 

We were both under pressure 

It was all we could take 

Vigilantes given one more chance 

It's the price you have to pay 

If you want to take a stance 

Running that anejo - layin' it on the line 

Running that anejo - trying to make it clean 

Running that anejo - man we were running blind 

Running that anejo - caught in the battle zone 

Running that anejo - lucky to be alive 

Running that anejo - we knew we were on our own 

Running that anejo - only hoped we'd survive 

We started runnin' through the dead of the night 

I said mama, mama, mama we'll make it alright 

There was blood on the table 

And there were tears in the wine 

With cash in our pockets 

We were running blind 

Always the hunted 

We ran hand in hand 

All the way through the jungle 

We cheated fate again 

That was a night we'll never forget 

Runnin' through the jungle you could taste the sweat 

Into the open we were dead on our feet 

I said mama, mama, mama let me tell 'bout the heat 

Running that anejo - layin' it on the line 

Running that anejo 

Running that anejo - man we were running blind 

Running that anejo 

Running that anejo - caught in the battle zone 

Running that anejo 

Running that anejo - we knew we were on our own 

Running that anejo 

Running that anejo - lucky to be alive 

Running that anejo 

Running that anejo - only hoped we'd survive
