[Verse 1]
This town is getting old
And we ain't gettin’ younger
These Michelins're on a roll
To somewhere over yonder

[Pre-Chorus]
Your mama'll cry, your dad will try to run my Chevy down
But if we don’t leave right now we'll never get out

[Chorus]
Let's run from the thumb that's tryna hold us down
Run like a river right outta this town
'Til the highway, gas tank, and jangle in the ashtray runs out
We can leave it in the rearview
If you wanna roll
I wanna run away with you

[Verse 2]
Playing radio roulette writing our story
This truck is a pen and the page is I-40
If we break down, no one around, no Texaco in sight
I'll just sit and watch you watchin' God shine them lights

[Chorus]
Let's run from the thumb that’s tryna hold us down
Run like a river right outta this town
’Til the highway, gas tank, and jangle in the ashtray runs out
We can leave it in the rearview
If you wanna roll
I wanna run away with you

[Bridge]
We'll hit up every Motel 6 even though we can’t afford it
Since we've 'ready sent postcards to the folks back in Georgia

[Chorus]
Let's run from the thumb that’s tryna hold us down
Run like a river right outta this town
'Til the highway, gas tank, and jangle in the ashtray runs out
We can leave it in the rearview
If you wanna roll
I wanna run away with you
