Walkin on red dirt no concrete pavement

Navy blue book bag on my back



Couple miles 'til I'm at the grey hound station

Hope they let me ride away with them



Got pretty mad at my father today

But I'm still thinkin bout what my mother would say



As I'm singin an old song she used to sing

When things weren't going the way she wanted them to



I wanna run away

I do

I wanna run away

I do

I wanna run away

I do

I wanna run away from you

I wanna leave this school

I do

I wanna leave this town

I do

But she'll be worried sick if

I do (if I do)



Can't run away and leave my mama alone

Cause I'm her boy Mama's boy

Just don't run off and leave my mama at home

Cause I'm her boy mama's boys

Just don't run away, run away

Can't run away and leave my mama alone

Cause I'm her boy Mama's boy

Just don't



So I turn around and headed to the old run down building

Bells gonna ring before I make it back



I watch the upper class men drive right past me

Wish they'd let me ride away with them



Still haven't got over it yet

It's been playin in my ears all mornin I swear



My iPods the same tune my mother would sing

When things weren't goin the way she wanted them to



I wanna run away

I do

I wanna run away

I do

I wanna run away

I do

I wanna run away from you

I wanna leave this school

I do

I wanna leave this town

I do

But she'll be worried sick if

I do (if I do)



Can't run away and leave my mama alone

Cause I'm her boy Mama's boy

Just don't run off and leave my mama at home

Cause I'm her boy mama's boys

Just don't run away, run away

Can't run away and leave my mama alone

Cause I'm her boy Mama's boy

Just don't



Never get mad enough to walk out

If I do then I won't be gone for long



Never fed up enough to leave her

No matter what I'll love her just the same



That's my mama

Yeah

So no matter what I leave unless he's coming soon



Can't run away and leave my mama alone

Cause I'm her boy Mama's boy

Just don't run off and leave my mama at home

Cause I'm her boy mama's boys

Just don't run away

Run away, yeah

Can't run away and leave my mama alone

Cause I'm her boy Mama's boy

Just don't
