What would they say
If we up and ran away
From the roaring crowd
And the worn out city faces
Would they carry on and on
When they found out we were gone
Or would they let us go
Would they tag along or would they just
Leave us alone,
We'd live in the country
Leave us alone,
We'd make it just fine
Happy in a one-room shack
And we'd not look back
Now would we
What would they do
If they found out we were through
With the little lies
And the downtown aggravations
That we traded them away
For a quiet country day
That we had hoped to share
Would they try to find out where we were, or
Leave us alone,
We'd live in the country
Leave us alone,
We'd make it just fine
Happy in a one-room shack
And we'd not look back
Now would we
What would they say
If we up and ran away...
Ran away...
