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 old to run wild
You're too big to be fishing with the boys these days"
So I grabbed some clothes and ran
Stole five dollars from a sugar can
A twelve-year-old jailbreaker running away
And 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 roam, I'm just like a kid again
The same old jailbreaker 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
