Puerto Rico all day on the beach
Blue water, white sand at her feet
Too bad it’s just a magazine
It’ll always be that place she’s never seen
She’s home running away
From the same old same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine
That’s why she stays home running away
To the place in her mind where he’ll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she’s home
Running Away
Fancy lunch with her best friend Ruby Mae
Dinner plans with her husband start at eight
But the dream ends with supper on the stove
The kitchen’s about as far as she can go
She’s home running away
From the same old, same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine
That’s why she stays home running away
To the place in her mind where he’ll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she’s home
Running Away
He walks in the door with her dreams in his hands
A two week vacation `cause he knows she’s been
Home running away
From the same old same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine
Yeah she’s been home running away
To the place in her mind where he’ll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she’s home
Running away
Running away
