This funky song finds Potter ruminating on her life as a touring musician. “Everywhere I go, the second I get there I’m leaving,” she lamented to The Boot. “I wanted to treat my lifestyle and my job, which is touring, as an addiction and a weakness that I can’t control. It’s a compulsion to run away...
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I hit you like a train
You feel the pain, I ain't coming back
I cut you, cut you deep
But you can't keep up on my truck
If I loved you, I'd stick around
You're on the ground 'cause I knocked you down
And you're falling every night
That you can't fight that I can hear you pray
I'd stay just one more day
But I always run away
I'm nothing but a runaway
I hooked you with a beat
The heavy heat gettin' outta hand
And I loved you in the lonely bed
The word you said, baby, understand
That if I loved you, I would stay
I'd never stray then runaway
And I'll fall down
Lonely night, I can't fight
But maybe I should pray
Lord, give me the strength to stay
Cause I always runaway
I'm nothing but a runaway
Oh oh oh oh oh
Why can't I just stay in one place?
Somebody got to put me in a cage
Oh, I don't want to be this way, oh
I'm nothing, nothing
Nothing but a runaway
Nothing but a runaway
Ooooh, I'm nothing but a runaway
Runaway
A runaway
A runaway
Ooooh, ooooh, oooh-ooooohh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
