He's a runner and he'll run away Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay, woman get away while you can He's a runner

He's a runner and he'll run away with the midnight train
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay,
Come the judgement day, come the rain, he's a runner

There'll come the running, he knows he's got to
Don't ask him not to or why, oh why, oh why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow?
Now I'm in chains till I die

He's a runner and he'll run away Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay, woman get away while you can
He's a runner He's a runner and he's got to run, he's got to run away He's a runner
