Run away--run away from here Run away--run away from here Run away all alone--run away from fear Run away from sadness--run away from tears Run away from home--from the wife & kids From the cats & the doggies--run away to forgive Run into the light . . . Chorus Hide away--in the lion's den Play with matches--get burned Flyin' high--in an aeroplane Run away . . . In a fast car--on a highway Burnin' tracks--towards the sunset No turning back--and no regrets I'll think of you . . . (if i don't forget)
Run away from the church--run away from guilt Runaway from (your) dream--everything you built Run into the light . . . Chorus Run away from the office, from your old work shoes Run away from crime, and the big city blues Run away from money, and the jaws of d**h Run away from lawyers, and the government Run away from your friends, and your family too Run away from yourself, run away from you Run away from here . . .
