Walkin on red dirt no concrete pavement
Navy blue book bag on my back

Couple miles ´til I´m at the grey hound station
Hope they let me ride away with them

Got pretty mad at my father today
But I´m still thinkin bout what my mother would say

As I´m singin an old song she used to sing
When things weren´t going the way she wanted them to

I wanna run away
I do
I wanna run away
I do
I wanna run away
I do
I wanna run away from you
I wanna leave this school
I do

I wanna leave this town
I do
But she´ll be worried sick if
I do (if I do)

Can´t run away and leave my mama alone
Cause I´m her boy Mama´s boy
Just don´t run off and leave my mama at home
Cause I´m her boy mama´s boys
Just don´t run away, run away
Can´t run away and leave my mama alone
Cause I´m her boy Mama´s boy
Just don´t

So I turn around and headed to the old run down building
Bells gonna ring before I make it back

I watch the upper class men drive right past me
Wish they´d let me ride away with them

Still haven´t got over it yet
It´s been playin in my ears all mornin I swear

My iPods the same tune my mother would sing
When things weren´t goin the way she wanted them to

I wanna run away
I do
I wanna run away
I do
I wanna run away
I do
I wanna run away from you
I wanna leave this school

I do
I wanna leave this town
I do
But she´ll be worried sick if
I do (if I do)

Can´t run away and leave my mama alone
Cause I´m her boy Mama´s boy
Just don´t run off and leave my mama at home
Cause I´m her boy mama´s boys
Just don´t run away, run away
Can´t run away and leave my mama alone
Cause I´m her boy Mama´s boy
Just don´t

Never get mad enough to walk out
If I do then I won´t be gone for long

Never fed up enough to leave her
No matter what I´ll love her just the same

That´s my mama
Yeah
So no matter what I leave unless he´s coming soon

Can´t run away and leave my mama alone
Cause I´m her boy Mama´s boy
Just don´t run off and leave my mama at home
Cause I´m her boy mama´s boys
Just don´t run away
Run away, yeah
Can´t run away and leave my mama alone
Cause I´m her boy Mama´s boy
Just don´t
