I don't wanna run no more (no more)
I don't wanna run no more (no more)
I don't wanna run no more
I don't wanna run no more (no more)
Out of the city into country life
Where the grass is green on every side
Let the country breeze smack me in my face
'Cause that's the only peaceful place, yeah
I don't wanna run no more (I don't wanna run)
I don't wanna run no more (I don't wanna run)
I don't wanna run
I don't wanna run no more
Out of the city sniffin' country breeze
Play my upright piano just as long as I please
Pipes of sunshine peepin' through the clouds
Away from the hustle and the fumblin' crowds
Out of the city into country life
Where the grass is greener on every side, oh yeah
I don't wanna run no more (no more)
I don't wanna run no more (I don't wanna run)
I don't wanna run no more
