She had a white wedding one hundred guests and a four piece band 

But she's as sad as Sunday the groom's as cold as a snowman's hand 

But out of nowhere, came her saviour 

Down the aisle comes Johnny from the promised land 



As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me 

As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free 



In an old motel they fell asleep after driving thru the nite 

The word's gone out on the citizen's cands 

Her daddy has put a price on Johnny's life 

But out of danger deep in Texas she found heaven 

Hanging' onto Johnny's hand 



As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me 

As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free 



And if you break away I can give you a fast car going west 

Ain't got a lot o' time just 24 hours of happiness 

But if you wake one day and hear my voice on a cool breeze blowin' south 

Remember you and me living our life in 24 hours 



Soon enough they'll track us down 

Time runs out for freedom in the end 

Well it's bars for me and the bride to be 

In her daddy's caddy 

Abducted from the promised land 



As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me 

As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free 



As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me 

As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free
