"Run"

Every dollar counts and every morning hurts

We mostly work to live, until we live to work

She said, "You know, there's nowhere else to go"

But changing roles, it struck me that the two of us could run

Worlds away from cars and all the Stars and Bars

Where a little bit of condensation means so much

And a little bit of change is all your little fingers touch

I said, "You know, there's nowhere else to go"

But changing roles, it struck me that the two of us could run

'Cause, honey, with you-ooh-ooh-ooh

Is the only honest way to go

And I could take two-ooh-ooh-ooh

But I really couldn't ever know

Honey, with you-ooh-ooh-ooh

And a little bata radio

We could try

So lead my feet away, 'cause all they do is stay

And I don't think your eyes have ever looked surprised

She said, "You know, there's nowhere left to go"

But with her fund, it struck me that the two of us could run

'Cause, honey, with you-ooh-ooh-ooh

Is the only honest way to go

And I could take two-ooh-ooh-ooh

If I really couldn't ever know

Honey, with you-ooh-ooh-ooh

And a battered radio

We could try, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
