She's A Runaway

(album: Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams - 1986)

You know Mary was a woman fine
She was living with a hard guy
Yeah, Mary got beat up
One too many times

She's a runaway
She's a runaway

Mary stole some money
And she got herself a gun
Then she shot her man down
Now she's on the run

She's a runaway
She's a run, runaway
Well, she ain't looking back anymore
She said, "Catch me if you can, anymore"

Y'know she didn't wanna do it
But he just pushed her too far
Everybody got a breaking point
And, baby, there you are

She's a runaway
Run, run, run, runaway
I said she ain't looking back anymore
She said, "Catch me if you can, anymore"

Well, that's the story
Of Mary and the gun
Y'know she's a lot tougher now
She's living on the run

She's a runaway
She's a run, runaway
Run, run, run, runaway
She's a runaway
