Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's been a long week
I've got a slow leak in my front left tire
I'm sick of where I work
My boss is such a jerk
Don't care if I get fired
[Verse 2]
My back's about to break
No money in the bank
And she don't call me anymore
I'm down to my last drink
It's time to sell my things
[Verse 3]
And pack my bags and never look back
Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
And make my getaway
[Verse 4]
I'll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
Leave everybody sleepin' in this sleepy town tonight
At the break of day
I'll be a runaway
[Verse 5]
A hundred miles in
I got a stupid grin
On my scruffy face
With every cigarette
I'm burnin' my regrets
Don't want to leave a trace
[Verse 6]
And from the rearview, I got a clear view
Of who I used to be
A little bit faster now
Don't wanna turn around
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna pack my bags and never look back
Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
And make my getaway
[Verse 8]
I'll 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 (I'll be a runaway)
[Verse 9]
It's crazy, I know, to count on this road
To give me what I need
But with every state line
Somehow I find
Another part of me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 10]
I'm gonna pack my bags and never look back
Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
And make my getaway
[Verse 11]
I'll 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 (I'll be a runaway, I'll be a runaway)
I'll be a runaway
