[Verse 1]
I made a daring escape
In the guise of a nun
It took them most of the day
To realize I was gone
I crossed the forest and fields of wheat
A farmer's daughter gave me something to eat
I stole a paper just to see
Picture of me
[Chorus]
I'm a desperate man
I gotta keep on running
I gotta do what I can
To get back to you
[Verse 2]
I made the overnight ferry
By the skin of my teeth
I fell asleep between the truckers
Sprawled across the seats
I see your face everywhere I go
In every café, watering hole
What is the hold you've got on me
Baby?
[Chorus]
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
I'm a desperate man
I gotta keep on running
Running back to you
Nobody else will do
