I Ran

(album: Let's Dance And Have Some Kinda Fun ! ! ! - 1963)

Oh yeah, baby, Kansas City, here I come

Well, I was standing on the corner of 4th and Main
A policeman came along and asked me "What's you name?"

And I ran, and I ran
'Cause it's fine loving me and wanna stay free
So I ran

Well, I was going with a girly by the name of Sue
Until she said "Hey boy, I wanna marry you"

And I ran, and I ran
'Cause it's fine loving me and wanna stay free
So I ran

Let's run, oh yeah, baby
I like the way you run

I got a letter in the mail, it was addressed to me
It said "You've been selected for the infantry"

And I ran, and I ran
'Cause it's fine loving me and wanna stay free
So I ran

My uncle Charlie past away and left me all his dough
Then Uncle Sam came knocking and man don't you know

And I ran, and I ran
'Cause it's fine loving me and wanna stay free
So I ran

And I ran, and I ran
