Running away to get away
Ha, ha, ha, ha
You're wearing out your shoes
Look at you, fooling you

Making blues of night and day
Hee, hee, hee, hee
You're stretching out your dues
Look at you, fooling you

Shorter cut is quicker but
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Time is here to stay
Look at you, fooling you

The deeper in debt, the harder you bet
Hee, hee, hee, hee
You need more room to play
Look at you, fooling you

Another day, you're farther away
Ha, ha, ha, ha
A longer trip back home

Running away to get away
Ha, ha, ha, ha
You're wearing out your shoes
Look at you, fooling you
