Run Away
Wynn Stewart · Other Songs - Wynn Stewart
From the duty chains I wore so long
One of these days well I'm a gonna run away
I'll leave her alone when love has gone away
I'm a gonna travel far and fast and light
I gotta get away fore I lose my mind
I'm gonna pack my broken heart and leave her far behind
One of these days I'm a gonna run away
I've got a date with a freight and I'll make my getaway
[ steel ]
One of these days I'm a gonna run away
She's a gonna wake up and find ol' dog gone
Yeah one of these days well I'm a gonna run away
I'm gonna break my leash and make my getaway
I'm a gonna travel far and fast and light...
Oh one of these days I'm a gonna run away
One of these days
