Runaways Lyrics by Morris Madrone

2021

Runaways
Music and Lyrics
By Seth Morris

Hey pretty baby is your mama home
I’m shot, on the run, need a telephone
Cut down in the night won’t you hide me
‘til it’s safe

I danced with the devil on a moonless night
Oh girl he got me good but I will survive
I’m cold pretty baby won’t you help me
Stay awake

I was forced to live a sinner’s life
Was shot in my escape
Baby won’t you help me walk away
Cuz the devil has robbed me of my life so Now a devil I must be

Oh lord I’m gonna ride tonight
Guns all loaded for the devil’s lifе
Oh redrum baby gonna set this night ablaze

Oh girl I need a diffеrent life
Save my soul before I roll the dice
We’ll run run baby where the world won’t Know our names
As runaways, we’ll runaway, as runaways, We’ll runaway

Don’t worry baby I won’t die tonight
Won’t leave you all alone in this cruel life
Stay strong pretty mama while I storm
The hellish gates

We stood back to back for an old stand off
Proposed we turn and shoot
At the crack of dawn
But he shot me in the back before the sun Had seen my face

I anticipated my demise
And hid a metal plate
So when he flipped me up to see my face
I fed the devil a bullet through the eyes and Now an outline marks his grave

Oh lord I’m gonna ride tonight
Guns all loaded for the devil’s life
Oh redrum baby gonna set this night ablaze

Oh girl I need a different life
Save my soul before I roll the dice
We’ll run run baby where the world won’t know our names
As runaways, we’ll runaway, as runaways, We’ll runaway

Oh he’s gone now baby
But there will be more
At the door, by the morning light
We’ll be pass through border
Before the night has come
We’ll run, run, we’ll run away
Pack up baby for the interstate
You know I’d never let them take you away

(Repeat Verse One)
