Lyrics

Running away to get away Ha ha ha ha You're wearing out your shoes Look at you, fooling you Making blues of day and night 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 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
