James Taylor - Runaway Boy lyrics

Fetch down the fiddle, rosin up the bow Don't play me nothing on the radio Don't make me remember the alamo I'm feeling like a little bit of cotton eyed joe No ragin' cajun crawfish stew Fat batter come a lou mamma lou Boy howdy and howdy damn do Something like fine setting eyes on you Let me come down, i won't never go back up again Oh, hold me down Let me come home, i won't never go away no more Oh let me come down In a younger day back in tennessee The muddy mississippi used to call to me Float on a river and set yourself free Run from the farm and the family tree Run from the runaway boy So i've been all the places that i ever want to be I've seen all the people that i ever want to see I'm sick and tired of being lonely and free I'm ready today for what's waiting on me I'm gonna give up believing i was born to run And stop acting like a man that gets shot from a gun I'm putting down roots, i want to soak up sun And stay right here until my days are done Let me back down, i will never go up again Hold me down, tie me on down Let me go home, i will never go away no more Oh let me come home Oh let me go down
