Lyrics
Workin' in the city
This town's got no pity
Bossman owns a heart of stone
I'm on the line, it's overtime
I'll tell you it's a crime

They get me by the hour
By my blue collar
Woo, you're squeezin' me too tight
Oh, it's Friday night
Let's run tonight
'Til the morning light

Keep on runnin' (keep on runnin')
Keep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay, it's alright
It's okay, it's alright
And if it makes you want to jump and shout, go ahead!
Keep on runnin' (keep on runnin')
Keep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away, it's okay

Crusin' with my baby
Think we just might maybe
Find some back seat rhythm and blues
Radio, I said now down we go, woo baby, down we go

Keep on runnin' (keep on runnin')
Keep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay

Keep on runnin' (keep on runnin')
Keep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay, it's alright
It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And if it makes you want to jump and shout, go ahead!
Keep on runnin' (keep on runnin')
Keep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay
