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
Come the judgement day, come the rain
He's a runner

There'll come the running, he knows he got to
Don't ask him not to or why
Oh, why, why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow?
Now I'm in chains 'til 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
He's got to run away
He's a runner
