River Road

Crystal Gayle

Here I go once again


With my suitcase in my hand


And I'm running away down River Road


And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home


Yes, I'm chasing my dreams down River Road





Mama said, listen child


You're too old to run wild


You're to big to be fishin' with the boys these days





So I grabed some clothes and I ran


Stole five dollars from a sugar can


A twelve year old jail breaker runnin' away





Here I go once again


With my suitcase in my hand


And 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 leavin' on my mind these days





When I get that urge to roam


I'm just like a kid again


The same old jail breaker runnin' away





Here I go once again


With my suitcase in my hand


And 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
