Here I go once again with my suitcase in my hand And I'm running away down River Road And I swear once again that I'm never coming home I'm chasing my dreams down River Road ♪ Here I go down that wrong road again Going back where I've already been Even knowing where it'll end Here I go down that road again There's a bus to L.A. and it leaves once a day From the stop at the top of the street It's a small price to pay for a ticket one way And one day I'm reserving my seat I can see us now ridin' in a brand new wagon Happy as a King upon a Throne Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet Ridin' in a brand new Wagon going home ♪ Playing with the Queen of Hearts Knowing it ain't really smart The Joker ain't the only fool Who'll do anything for you Laying out another lie Thinking 'bout a life of crime If that's what I'll have to do To keep me away from you ♪ Here I go once again with my suitcase in my hand And I'm running away down River Road And I swear once again that I'm never coming home I'm chasing my dreams down River Road I'm chasing my dreams down River Road
