Name: Run Away
Duration: P00H02M42S
Description: I recommend banging away at a guitar and hard singing and who-cares-what-they-think songwriting to deal with the range of emotions that you go through when you feel you've been hard done by. This song is not about what people think it's about. It's not about "a woman scorned". I keep it my secret.

lyrics

Runaway
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley

I'm not the murdering kind
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
But killing you is on my mind
Ooh run away, ooh run away, run away now
I'd o' made a very fine wife
I'd o' kept every vow
I'm good and ready to bury this knife
Ooo run, ooo run, run away now

The cops, they come, they took away my boy
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
You paid for nothing, not one stinking toy
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
You've got your house on the hill
You've got all fake and highbrow
I've got an aching to kill
Ooo run, ooo run, run away now

I'm poor, I'm pissed and I'm coming undone
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
Some born again Christian is raising my son
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
You've got your name to abide
You've got your lordy-lord crowd
I've got no shame and no pride
Ooo run, ooo run, run away now
Ooo run, ooo run, run away now
