Down River Road Songtext

von Susan McCann

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 young too run wild
Too big to go fishing with the boys these days
So I grabbed some clothes and ran
Stole five dollars from the sugar can
A twelve-year-old jail-breaker 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

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 run, I'm just like a kid again
Same old jail-breaker 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

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
