River Road lyrics

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 a sugar can

A twelve-year-old jailbreaker 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

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 roam, I'm just like a kid again

The same old jailbreaker 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
