The Runaway

[Verse 1] Very old and free is this voice I heard Echoed in the breeze and the buffalo herds All that I learned from the beasts and these birds is it's home to me And that's all right when they sing "Hooyip, hooyip, hoo hoo" Burial at sea is this bus stop line According to the customs and creed of this culture, my tribe But that was never me, that request was not mine I wanted to choke on the rifle smoke Yeah, I wanted to go down with my right hand broke Come on, yeah I wanted to go down with my right hand broke [Chorus] 'Cause in the motorcade, I'm a runaway And I'll never change, not tomorrow La da da da da da da da da [Verse 2] Safe and merrily, a life dignified Rapids on the stream make the wild ride Your life is but a dream if you bide and bide But I'll be on that boat when the water's white Yeah, I wanted to learn to love before I die Come on, yeah I wanted to learn to love before I die [Chorus] In the motorcade, I'm a runaway And I'll never change, not tomorrow La da da da da da da da da [Bridge] Somebody said "Hey, is there any end in sight?" Somebody said "Hey", to this foolish, fruitless ride [Chorus] In the motorcade, I'm a runaway And I'll never change, not tomorrow In the motorcade, I'm a runaway And I'll never change, not tomorrow La da da da da da da da da Come on, yeah I wanted to go down with my right hand broke
