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
