Runaway Boy

Fetch down the fiddle, rosin up the bow

Don't play me nothing on the radio

Don't make me remember the alamo

I'm feeling like a little bit of cotton eyed joe



No ragin' cajun crawfish stew

Fat batter come a lou mamma lou

Boy howdy and howdy damn do

Something like fine setting eyes on you



Let me come down, i won't never go back up again

Oh, hold me down

Let me come home, i won't never go away no more

Oh let me come down



In a younger day back in tennessee

The muddy mississippi used to call to me

Float on a river and set yourself free

Run from the farm and the family tree

Run from the runaway boy



So i've been all the places that i ever want to be

I've seen all the people that i ever want to see

I'm sick and tired of being lonely and free

I'm ready today for what's waiting on me



I'm gonna give up believing i was born to run

And stop acting like a man that gets shot from a gun

I'm putting down roots, i want to soak up sun

And stay right here until my days are done



Let me back down, i will never go up again

Hold me down, tie me on down

Let me go home, i will never go away no more

Oh let me come home

Oh let me go down
