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 . . .
