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 backs about to break

No money in the bank

And she don't call me anymore

I'm down to my last ring

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 get away

I 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

A hundred miles in

I got a stupid grin on my scruffy face

With every cigarette

I'm burning my regrets

Don't want to leave a trace

And from the rear-view

I've got clear view of who I used to be

A little bit faster now

Don'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 get away

I 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

It's crazy I know

To count on this road and give me what I need

But with every state line

Somehow I find another part of me

Yeah-e-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 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
