Runaway - Love and Theft

It’s been a long week

I’ve got a slow leak in my left front tire

I’m sick of where I work

My boss is such a jerk, don’t care if I get fired

My back’s about to break

No money in the bank

And she don’t call me anymore

I’m down to my last drink, it’s time to sell my things

And pack my bags and never look back

Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks

And make my getaway

I’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down

Leave everybody sleepin' in this sleepy town tonight

At the break of day

I’ll be a runaway

A hundred miles in, I got a stupid grin

On my scruffy face

With every cigarette I’m burnin' my regrets

Don’t want to leave a trace

And from the rearview, I’ve got clear view

Of who I used to be

A little bit faster now

Ddon’t wanna turn around

I’m gonna pack my bags and never look back

Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks

And make my getaway

I’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down

Leave everybody sleepin' in this sleepy town tonight

And at the break of day

I’ll be a runaway, I’ll be a runaway

(I'll be a runaway, I’ll be a runaway, I’ll be a runaway)

It’s crazy, I know, to count on this road

To give me what I need

But with every state line

Somehow I find another part of me, yeah, yeah

I’m gonna pack my bags and never look back

Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks

And make my get away

I’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down

Leave everybody sleepin' in this sleepy town tonight

And at the break of day

I’ll be a runaway, I’ll be a runaway

(I'll be a runaway, I’ll be a runaway, I’ll be a runaway)

(I'll be a runaway, I’ll be a runaway, I’ll be a runaway)
