You asked me once

What I wanted to do.

I've thought about it alot

And this is what I want to do.


I wanna run away

That's what I want to do.

I wanna ride the roads

In a great big rig with you.



I wanna see the country

And all the cities too.

Baby... I just wanna run away

And spend all my time with you.


You once drove that 18 wheeler

I want to drive it now with you.

I want to spend each day and night

In that big rig... just me and you.



C'mon honey-baby...

Let's leave town tonight

I wanna travel down that highway

And look at all the sights.


Yeah, I know you think I'm foolish

I bet this took you by surprise

But baby, if you think I'm kiddin'

Take a good look in my eyes.


I wanna run away...

Yep, that's what I want to do.

Let's take the long haul in that big truck.

My sweet baby... I wanna run away

And spend my life with you.
