He's a runner and he'll run away, Soon there'll be no man. Woman ain't been born that can make him stay, Woman get away while you can. He's a runner and he'll run away On the midnight train. Woman ain't been born who can make him stay, Come the judgement day, Come the rain He'll go running, don't ask him not to You know he's got to go He'll only leave you and run off with tomorrow Leave you in chains till you die. He's a runner and he'll run away. Soon there'll be no man. Woman ain't been born that can make him stay, Woman get away while you can. He's a runner, he's a runner and he's got to run, He's got to run away.
