Walkin on red dirt no concrete pavement Navy blue book bag on my back
Couple miles ’til I’m at the grey hound station Hope they let me ride away with them
Got pretty mad at my father today But I’m still thinkin bout what my mother would say
As I’m singin an old song she used to sing When things weren’t going the way she wanted them to
I wanna run away I do I wanna run away I do I wanna run away I do I wanna run away from you I wanna leave this school I do I wanna leave this town I do But she’ll be worried sick if I do (if I do)
Can’t run away and leave my mama alone Cause I’m her boy Mama’s boy Just don’t run off and leave my mama at home Cause I’m her boy mama’s boys Just don’t run away, run away Can’t run away and leave my mama alone Cause I’m her boy Mama’s boy Just don’t
So I turn around and headed to the old run down building Bells gonna ring before I make it back
I watch the upper class men drive right past me Wish they’d let me ride away with them Still haven’t got over it yet It’s been playin in my ears all mornin I swear
My iPods the same tune my mother would sing When things weren’t goin the way she wanted them to
I wanna run away I do I wanna run away I do I wanna run away I do I wanna run away from you I wanna leave this school I do I wanna leave this town I do But she’ll be worried sick if I do (if I do)
Can’t run away and leave my mama alone Cause I’m her boy Mama’s boy Just don’t run off and leave my mama at home Cause I’m her boy mama’s boys Just don’t run away, run away Can’t run away and leave my mama alone Cause I’m her boy Mama’s boy Just don’t
Never get mad enough to walk out If I do then I won’t be gone for long
Never fed up enough to leave her No matter what I’ll love her just the same
That’s my mama Yeah So no matter what I leave unless he’s coming soon
Can’t run away and leave my mama alone Cause I’m her boy Mama’s boy Just don’t run off and leave my mama at home Cause I’m her boy mama’s boys Just don’t run away Run away, yeah Can’t run away and leave my mama alone Cause I’m her boy Mama’s boy Just don’t
