He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner

He's a runner and he'll run away
With the midnight train
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Comes the judgment day comes the rain
He's a runner

There'll come the runnin'
He'll know he's got to
Don't ask him not to
Oh why oh why
Why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow
Now I 'm in chains till I die

He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner
He's a runner and he's got to run away
He's a runner
