Oh I gotta run, I gotta run away
Yeah I gotta run, I gotta run away
Since you caught me in the sack
With your best friend cuddled in my arms
I got it well I gotta run away
Oh I gotta run, I gotta run away
I wish I could have stayed for one more day
If only you gave me the time
To let you know that she's a drag
But I got it well I gotta walk away
Oooooh
Why does it hurt so bad, crack my little heart
I'm a poor lonesome cat
Oh I gotta run, I gotta run away
Speeding up on the Tennessee highway
Cos I may have slipped a bit again
Robbing Chattanooga bank
Sirens sounding, I gotta run away
Oooooh
Why does it hurt so bad, crack my little heart
I ain't no black hat
Now I gotta make, I gotta make my way
Yeah I gotta make, I gotta make my way
Meet a gal across the border
Put a nice ring on her finger
Get to know her best friend if I may
Get to know her best friend if I may
Get to know her best friend if I may
Oooooh
Why does it hurt so bad, crack my little heart
Give me another chance
So I can blow it again
