I made a daring escape in the guise of a nun
It took them most of the day to realise I was gone
I crossed the forests and fields of wheat
A farmer's daughter gave me something to eat
I stole a paper just to see
A picture of me. I'm a desperate man
I gotta keep on running
I gotta do what I can
To get back to you
I made the overnight ferry by the skin of my teeth
I feel asleep between the truckers sprawled across the seats
I see your face everywhere I go
In every café & watering hole
What is this hold you've got on me, baby?
I'm a desperate man
I gotta keep on running
I gotta do what I can
To get back to you
I'm a desperate man
I gotta keep on running
Running back to you
Nobody else will do
