Run...I'm on the run
and it's goodby for good this time
Don't care where the road may wind
I'm gonna leave all my troubles far behind
Run...I'm on the run...just like a killer
Down the dark highway
Don't know where I've been today
Been running since she walked away
Night's fallin'...the wind's callin' her name
How did I ever get caught in this game?
No I couldn't know
'Cause I've always been the trusting kind
Then one day I had to wake up and find
That I'd lost everything that I thought was mine
Gone...now I'm long gone
Little girl don't come looking round for me
Oh yes I'm gonna be wild and free
In a little while you'll be just a memory
White lines on the road keep rolling by
Try and catch me
I'll take off and fly
