Here I go once again with my suitcase in my hand
I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again that I'm never coming home
I'm chasing my dreams down River Road
Mama said, "Listen child, you're too old to run wild
You're too big to go fishing with the boys these days"
So I grabbed some clothes and ran
Stole five dollars from the sugar can
Just a twelve-year-old jail-breaker running away
Here I go once again with my suitcase in my hand
I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again that I'm never coming home
I'm chasing my dreams down River Road
Well I marriеd a pretty good man and he tries to undеrstand
But he knows I've got leaving on my mind these days
When I get that urge to run I'm just like a kid again
A thirty-year-old jail-breaker running away
And here I go once again with my suitcase in my hand
I'm running away down river road
And I swear once again that I'm never coming home
In my dreams I still run down River Road
