I got a few things that I gotta take care of
There's a few people that I gotta call
There's lots of reasons that I hate how life's going
And I still got two more years till I can run from it all
I'm gonna, pack up my things and head down straight for Miami
Or South Carolina, no that's in the past
I think LA's a thought but Hollywood's better
Okay I don't know where I'm going but I'm going there fast
Cuz I'm runnin' I'm runnin' away from this town
My wheels they aint stopping till my car breaks down
I'm runnin' I'm runnin' away from these years
I'm gonna pack up all my problems and I'll leave them right here
Can't wait to tell my friends that I never liked them
Can't wait to tell my girl I'm not that soft
Can't wait till the day that I graduate high school
Gonna walk in to my job and tell my boss to back off
Cuz I'm runnin' I'm runnin' away from this town
My wheels they aint stopping till my car breaks down
I'm runnin' I'm runnin' away from these years
I'm gonna pack up all my problems and I'll leave them right here
I hear Chicago's got a thing or two
Maybe I'll go and get a hotel room
Then there's New Orleans with the House of Blues
Cuz when your life is what is holding you
Then runnin's what you gotta do, yeah, yeah
My wheels they aint stopping till my car breaks down
I'm runnin' I'm runnin' away from these years
I'm gonna pack up all my problems and I'll leave them right here
I'm runnin, yeah, away from this town
I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' now
And don't you try an stop me cuz I'll never slow down
