“Runaway” is the sole single taken from 2006’s High Times: Singles, 1992-2006. This isn’t really all that notable, seeing as all but two of the songs on that compilation LP were singles from the group’s preceding six albums.
With lyrics allegedly borne of record label frustrations, “Runaway” peaked...
[Verse 1]
Can you dig it?
There's something in the air tonight
Got a one-way ticket
Baby, don't you wanna ride?
Got to make it, make it to the other side
I've got demons snappin' at my heels tonight
[Chorus]
I just want to run away, turn me loose
Got people around, runnin' me down, I can't stay (Woo)
I just want to get away, I just wanna get away now (Turn me loose)
Get them off my back today
[Verse 2]
Can you feel it?
I'm stuck inside a hurricane
Chasin' rainbows
Can't you see I'm going insane?
I wanna be a free man
But I'm spinnin' on this crazy wheel
I'm jumpin' for the high bar, can't you dig it?
No longer know what I feel
Can't you see?
[Chorus]
I just want to run away, turn me loose
Got people around, runnin' me down, I can't stay
I just want to get away, I just wanna get away now (Turn me loose)
Get them off my back today
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna run away
(Turn me loose, turn me loose)
(Turn me loose, turn me loose)
[Bridge]
(Got to make it, got to make it)
(Got to make it, got to make it)
[Chorus]
I just want to run away, I just wanna run away (Turn me loose)
Got people around, runnin' me down, I can't stay (Can't stay no more now)
I just want to get away, I just got to get away (Turn me loose)
Get them off my back today (Woo)
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna run away (La-la-la-la-la-la)
I just wanna get away (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Turn me loose, run away (Run away)
Got people around, runnin' me down (Run away, run away)
I can't stay (Runnin' away, runnin' away)
[Outro]
I just wanna run away (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Just gotta get away (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Turn me loose, run away
Get them off my back today (Got to get way, yeah)
