He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner

He's a runner and he'll run away
With the midnight train
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Comes the judgment day comes the rain
He's a runner

There'll come the runnin'
He'll know he's got to
Don't ask him not to
Oh why oh why
Why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow
Now I'm in chains till I die

He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can

He's a runner
He's a runner and he's got to run away
He's got to run away
He's a runner
