lyrics

RUN
When I was young I’d dream of the day
The traveling show’d come to town I’d slip away
Live a gypsy life out on the road, town to town never heading home
Take me away ya take me away

Chorus
I'm gonna run run runaway run gonna run
Run to where there's something new to become
Run so far they'll forget about me
Gonna run, ‘til I'm running running free

Thirty years & drifting through a nine to five
Collision course with a dead end it’s passing me by
A house a car a loan you pay your dues blink of an eye it happens to you
Take me away ya take me away

Bound for leaving stumbling on my doubts
Searching for something might not be found

I’m wrinkled, grey and moving slow w a walking cane
And I’m looking back on the shimmer of my glory days
Close my eyes smile at what I see, to go back I'd give anything
Take me away ya take me away
