Runaway by The McCoys Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1966

[Intro]
(Bomp-bomp)
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)

[Chorus]
(Run, run, run)
(I never shoulda run away)

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' feelin' so alone
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
Said, "What am I doin' so far away from home"?
(Sha-la-la-la)
Whoa-oh, I've been gone for just two years
Seems I cried a million tears

[Chorus]
Run, run, run
I never shoulda run away
[Verse 2]
Well, real home cookin' sure beats pork and beans
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
And my old job wasn't half as bad as it seemed
(Sha-la-la-la)
Whoa-oh, there's a girl I can't forget
The more I run the more I regret

[Chorus]
Run, run, run
I never shoulda run away, hey-hey-hey

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Run, run, run
I never shoulda run away

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna pack my suitcase and head for the railroad track
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
If I'm lucky, well maybe, she'll take me back
(Sha-la-la-la)
Whoa-oh, I grew up, I know I was wrong
I'm comin' home where I belong
[Chorus]
Run, run, run
I never shoulda run away

[Outro]
(Bomp-bomp)
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
(Sha-la-la-la, dit-dit-doo-wah-da)
Run, run, run
I never shoulda run away
Run, run, run
I never shoulda run away
Run, run, run
I never shoulda run away
