Puerto Rico all day on the beach

Blue water, white sand at her feet

Too bad it?s just a magazine

It?ll always be that place she?s never seen



She?s home running away 

From the same old same old everyday

In day out, predictable routine

That?s why she stays home running away

To the place in her mind where he?ll take her someday

When he gets the time, until then she?s home

Running Away



Fancy lunch with her best friend Ruby Mae

Dinner plans with her husband start at eight

But the dream ends with supper on the stove

The kitchen?s about as far as she can go



She?s home running away

From the same old, same old everyday

In day out, predictable routine

That?s why she stays home running away

To the place in her mind where he?ll take her someday

When he gets the time, until then she?s home 

Running Away



He walks in the door with her dreams in his hands

A two week vacation `cause he knows she?s been



Home running away

From the same old same old everyday

In day out, predictable routine

Yeah she?s been home running away

To the place in her mind where he?ll take her someday

When he gets the time, until then she?s home

Running away

Running away
