The Runaway Songtext
von The Grass Roots

I′ve been a brother to sorrow
I've been surrounded by gloom
Cause this hotel′s got hot and gold running
Heartache is every room
Checking out of here in the morning
Even that'll be too much time
I'm gonna get a board a big white bird
That′s waiting at the end of time


Oh, the runway is the one way to get back to you
Oh, the runway is the one way to get back to you
If I have to beg steal or borrow
I′ll be seeing you girl tomorrow oh
The runway is the one way to get back to you

TV's gonna get to me
Haven′t heard a bit of good news?
Who needs that when I'm sitting here chewing
Popcorn smothered in blues
Operator wake me at 7
Don′t you wait a minute too long
I'm gonna leave with a one way ticket
Going back to where I belong


Oh, the runway is the one way to get back to you
Oh, the runway is the one way to get back to you
If I have to beg steal or borrow
I′ll be seeing you girl tomorrow oh
The runway is the one way to get back to you.
