Runaway Boy Lyrics

Runaway Boy lyrics

Fetch down the fiddle, rosin up the bow

 Don't play me nothing on the radio

 Don't make me remember the Alamo

 I'm feeling like a little bit of Cotton Eyed Joe

 

 No ragin' Cajun crawfish stew

 Fat batter come a lou mamma lou

 Boy howdy and howdy damn do

 Something like fine setting eyes on you

 

 Let me come down, I won't never go back up again

 Oh, hold me down

 Let me come home, I won't never go away no more

 Oh let me come down

 

 In a younger day back in Tennessee

 The muddy Mississippi used to call to me

 Float on a river and set yourself free

 Run from the farm and the family tree

 Run from the runaway boy

 

 So I've been all the places that I ever want to be

 I've seen all the people that I ever want to see

 I'm sick and tired of being lonely and free

 I'm ready today for what's waiting on me

 

 I'm gonna give up believing I was born to run

 And stop acting like a man that gets shot from a gun

 I'm putting down roots, I want to soak up sun

 And stay right here until my days are done

 

 Let me back down, I will never go up again

 Hold me down, tie me on down

 Let me go home, I will never go away no more

 Oh let me come home

 Oh let me go down
