Lyrics

Running Away

Running away, to get away

Ha ha ha ha

You're wearing out your shoes

Making blues of night and day

Hee hee hee hee

You're stretching out your dues

Look at you, fooling you

Shorter cut is quicker but

Ha ha ha ha

Time is here to stay

Look at you, fooling you

The deeper in debt, the harder you bet

Hee hee hee hee

Need more room to play

Look at you, fooling you

Another day, you're farther away

Ha ha ha ha

A longer trip back home
