ing]  (He's  a runaway)
Give  my hat and let  me go
I'm  not bred for travellin'  slow
Like  a buck and broncin' rodeo
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
Got  no time to be  delayed
Always  calls a spade  a spade
There's  a lot of debts I haven't  paid
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 I'll beg  or steal or borrow
 My saddle  and my tack
 I'm headin'  for tomorrow
 And I'm never  comin' back,  oh
Follow  my tracks and you  will find
Broken  hearts I've left  behind
 Cause I'm  just not the marryin'  kind
I'm  a runaway (runaway, runaway)
So  many sights I've never  seen
So  many prairies in  between
 Got a strong  young horse and a full  canteen
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
So  many gals I haven't  met
So  many cards I haven't  bet
 Gonna take  a chance, every chance  I get
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 A-heading  for the border
 As peaceful  as can be
 I'm off  for law and order
 Long as they  don't bother me
So  many nights for havin'  fun
So  many fights I haven't  won
 There's not  enough notches on  my  gun
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 I'm a runaway
ng]  I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
 I'm a runaway  (runaway, runaway)
