Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Running away to get away
Ha-ha, ha-ha
You're wearing out your shoes
[Chorus]
Look at you fooling you
[Verse 2]
Making blues of night and day
Hee-hee, hee-hee
You're stretching out your dues
[Chorus]
Look at you fooling you
[Verse 3]
Shorter cut is quicker but
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Time is here to stay
[Chorus]
Look at you fooling you
[Verse 4]
The deeper in debt, the harder you bet
Hee-hee, hee-hee
You need more room to play
[Chorus]
Look at you fooling you
[Verse 5]
Another day, you're farther away
Ha-ha, ha-ha
A longer trip back home
