"A Million Ways to Run" is a song written and recorded by Canadian country artist Terri Clark. It was released in January 2010 as the third single from her seventh studio album, The Long Way Home.
"A Million Ways to Run" is a country ballad, backed primarily by acoustic guitar and mandolin. The song's female narrator, someone struggling with how to properly deal with her feelings, describes an event where she witnessed another woman confessing similar sins in a church basement (AA Meeting). The woman's words resonated with the narrator, and even though there were "a million ways to run," she chose to turn her life around.
Terri Clark wrote the song while on vacation in Hawaii, describing it as "the most personal song [she'd] ever written." Of the song, she said "it's about reaching a point in your life when you realize that what you've been doing, and how you've been dealing ( or not dealing) with uncomfortable emotions, feelings, and thoughts, isn't working anymore."[1]
