She's working the late shift here downtow

In the guts of the city

She's got a room no money down

And it ain't to pretty

But she made up her mind

To leave it behind

Amy had to run, it's alright

She's having fun in another life

And she won't be coming back for anyone

Now Amy's on the run

She's watching the young boys at the bar

All chiselled and felxing

She tells them a joke or two then stops

Just short of confessing

They know she's a man

They al understand

Why Amy had to run, it's alright

She's having fun in another life

And she won't be coming back for anyone

Now Amy's on the run

So she dreams of the day

With everything she scrimps and saves

They're gonna change her all the way

And it's not a crime

It's just that nature got it wrong this time

This time

She made up her mind

To leave it behind

Amy had to run, it's alright

She's having fun in another life

And she won't be coming back for anyone, anyone

Now Amy's on the run
