River Road Songtext
von Sylvia Tyson

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 be 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 married a pretty good man and he tries to understand
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.

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.

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.
