(verse 1)
Bm G A
It’s been a long week, I’ve got a slow leak In my left front tire
Bm G A
I’m sick of where I work, my boss is such a jerk Don’t care if I get fired
Bm G A
My back’s about to break, no money in the bank And she don’t call me anymore
Em C
I’m down my last drink It’s time to sell my things
(chorus)
G Bm A G
And pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
Bm A
And make my getaway
G Bm
I’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
A G
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
Bm A Bm – G – A
And at the break of day, I’ll be a runaway
(chorus)
Bm G A
A hundred miles in, I’ve got a stupid grin On my scruffy face
Bm G A
With every cigarette, I’m burnin my regret Don’t wanna leave a trace
Bm G A
And from my rear view, I’ve got a clear view Of who I used to be
Em C
A little bit faster now Don’t wanna turn around
(chorus)
G Bm A G
And pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
Bm A
And make my getaway
G Bm
I’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
A G
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
Bm A Bm – G – A Bm – G – A
And at the break of day, I’ll be a runaway I’ll be a runaway
(bridge)
Em D G
It’s crazy, I know, to count on this road To give me what I need
Em D G A
But with every state line, somehow I find Another part of me YEA
(Lead – Bm – G – A = 2x’s)
(chorus)
G Bm A G
I’m gonna pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
Bm A
And make my getaway
G Bm
I’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
A G
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
Bm A Bm – G – A Bm – G – A
And at the break of day, I’ll be a runaway I’ll be a runaway

I’ll be a runaway
