She's working the late shift here downtown
In the guts of the city
She's got a room, no money down
And it ain't to pretty
But she made up her mind
To leave it behind

Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be going back for anyone
Now Amy's on the run

She's watching the young boys at the bar
All chiselled and flexing
She tells them a joke or two then stops
Just short of confessing
They know she's a man
They all understand

Why Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be going back for anyone
Now Amy's on the run

So she dreams of the day
With everything she scrimps and saves
They're gonna change her all the way
And it's not a crime
It's just that nature got it wrong this time
This time

She made up her mind
To leave it behind

Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone, anyone
Now Amy's on the run
