[whistling] (He's a runaway)

[whistling] (He's a runaway)

Give my hat and let me go

I'm not bred for travellin' slow

Like a buck and broncin' rodeo

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

Got no time to be delayed

Always calls a spade a spade

There's a lot of debts I haven't paid

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 I'll beg or steal or borrow

 My saddle and my tack

 I'm headin' for tomorrow

 And I'm never comin' back, oh

Follow my tracks and you will find

Broken hearts I've left behind

 Cause I'm just not the marryin' kind

I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

So many sights I've never seen

So many prairies in between

 Got a strong young horse and a full canteen

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

So many gals I haven't met

So many cards I haven't bet

 Gonna take a chance, every chance I get

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 A-heading for the border

 As peaceful as can be

 I'm off for law and order

 Long as they don't bother me

So many nights for havin' fun

So many fights I haven't won

 There's not enough notches on my gun

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 I'm a runaway

[whistling] I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)

 I'm a runaway (runaway, runaway)
