Lyrics

If there’s a plane or a bus leaving DallasI hope you’re on itIf there’s a train moving fast down the tracksI hope you caught it
‘Cause I swear out there ain’t where you ought to beSo, catch a ride, catch a cabDon’t you know I miss you badBut don’t you walk to me
Baby, run, cut a path across the blue skiesStraight in a straight lineYou can’t get here fast enoughFind a truck and fire it upLean on the gas and off the clutchLeave Dallas in the dustI need you in a rushSo, baby, run
If you ain’t got a suitcaseGet a box or an old, brown, paper sackAnd pack it light or pack it heavyTake a truck, take a ChevyBaby, just come back
There’s a shortcut to the highway out of townWhy don’t you take it?Don’t let that speed limit slow you downGo on and break it
Baby, run, cut a path across the blue skiesStraight in a straight lineYou can’t get here fast enoughFind a truck and fire it upLean on the gas and off the clutchLeave Dallas in the dustI need you in a rushSo, baby, run
Baby, runOh baby, run
Baby, run
