[Verse 1]
  D                                   D
I ain't got no plans, no place to go; where I stop nobody knows
A                            G
Singing something to myself, wishing I was somewhere else
D
You ain't got to, got to, be my friend
D
'Cause I don't know about me back again
A
But if you wanna wait out there
G                                    G
Come on, come on, come out and play. . . Yeah. . .


[Chorus]
       A                 G
'Cause I. . . I'm on the run. . .
             D                    Am
And I'm just looking   to have me some fun. Yeah, uh, uh
Em                          G                       D    C
I. . . well, I don't need nobody, 'cause I'm on the run
A     G                  D    C    A    G
Yeah, oh. . . I'm on the run. . .


[Verse 2]
        D
Well, I ain't no superstitious Pageant queen
D
I ain't trying to be no new James Dean
A
I ain't looking for a place to lay my head
G
Except a beach, a bench, or a flower bed
D
Don't fall in love with me
D
'Cause I have got to, got to, be free
A
But if you wanna wait out there
G                                        G
Come on, come on, come out and play. . . Yeah. . .


[Chorus]

'Cause I. . . I'm on the run. . .
               D                         A
Well, I'm just looking   to have me some fun. Yeah, hmm
Em                          G                   D
I. . . well, I don't need nobody, no holding me down
A
I gotta get myself away from this town
Em                          G                           D
I. . . well, I don't want nobody, no, nobody holding me back
    A                            G
So, don't you hold me back, boy, no. . .


[Verse 3]
                    D         A
We're gonna take it slow. . . Cruise along, listen to the radio
    A
And all dressed up and no place to go
  G                           D
I got my halo and got my gun, got my guitar, got the sun
       A
And if it wasn't for the devil onto my head
G                      G
Love you but until I'm dead, yeah. . .


[Chorus]
      N.C.               G
'Cause I. . . I'm on the run. . .
               D                  A
Well, I'm just looking to have me some fun. Yeah, uh, uh
Em                          G                       D

A
Gotta get myself away from this town
E                           G                           D
