Run away, run away far from the lights of town
Now that she's left me for somebody new
my mind keeps saying the one thing to do
is to run away, run away far from the lights of town.
I'll take my broken heart and follow my shoes,
I'll walk the road, the road to the blues
and I'll run away, run away far from the lights of town.
As I look down, down on the town
here from my favourite hill
I see her light shining so bright,
Why do I think of her still?
And as I stand there, a tear in my eye,
I blow her a kiss and I whisper good bye
as I run away, run away far from the lights of town.
And as I stand there with a tear in my eye
I blow her a kiss and I whisper good bye
as I run away, I run away far from the lights of town,
Run away far from the lights of town.
