Runaway Boy

Lyrics

Fetch down the fiddle, rosin up the bow
 Don't play me nothing on the radio
 Don't make me remember the Alamo
 I'm feeling like a little bit of Cotton Eyed Joe
 No ragin' Cajun crawfish stew
 Fat batter come a lou mamma lou
 Boy howdy and howdy damn do
 Something like fine setting eyes on you
 Let me come down, I won't never go back up again
 Oh, hold me down
 Let me come home, I won't never go away no more
 Oh let me come down
 In a younger day back in Tennessee
 The muddy Mississippi used to call to me
 Float on a river and set yourself free
 Run from the farm and the family tree
 Run from the runaway boy
 So I've been all the places that I ever want to be
 I've seen all the people that I ever want to see
 I'm sick and tired of being lonely and free
 I'm ready today for what's waiting on me
 I'm gonna give up believing I was born to run
 And stop acting like a man that gets shot from a gun
 I'm putting down roots, I want to soak up sun
 And stay right here until my days are done
 Let me back down, I will never go up again
 Hold me down, tie me on down
 Let me go home, I will never go away no more
 Oh let me come home
 Oh let me go down
