Running Away from the Thought of You

Lyrics

I'm sittin' in a hotel on claymore avenue Talkin' to the walls, think' 'bout callin' you But I can't go back, cause it don't come so easily I pack my bags and I'm free Oh darlin I, I'm runnin' away from the thought of you I'm tellin' myself that's what I should do But darlin', it just won't work out I, I'm makin' believe that's the way to go I'll pack up and leave you before you know Oh baby, it just won't work out Waitin' on a backstreet with my thumb up in the air I'm burnin' up the concrete, and it don't matter where But I can't go back 'cause it don't come so easily I pack my bags and I'm free, whoo-whooo I, I'm runnin' away from the thought of you I'm tellin' myself that's what I should do But darlin', it just won't work out I, I'm makin' believe that's the way to go I'll pack up and leave you before you know 'cause darlin, it just won't work out Girl it's true There is no one else but you But this happens every time I get scared And I run for the open air Just when everything is goin' so fine I'm stoppin' at a phone booth, I wonder if you're home Stuffin' in the quarters, I'm feelin so alone But it just rings on it's rainin' where I'm callin' from I grab my bag and I'm gone - woah ho ho ho I, I'm runnin' away from the thought of you Tellin' myself that's what I should do Oh darlin', it just won't work out I, I'm makin' believe that's the way to go I'll pack up and leave you before you know 'cause darlin, it just won't work out I, I'm runnin' away from the thought of you Tellin' myself that's what I should do Oh darlin', it just won't work out I, I'm makin' believe that's the way to go I'll pack up and leave you before you know
