Run for Your Life

He never knew his daddy
He growing up too soon
The kids at school don't like him
But he don't need that school
His mama home with her boyfriend
She don't care where he's at
So he thumbs a ride down to Queen Street
Mama's boy got a plan

For the young boy to face a cold world
Chasing dreams in the night
Take a risk for another cheap thrill
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Don't you dare to look behind you
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Run, run, run, run
Run for your life

He goes to New York City
He got stage fright scenes
To find a love on the street man
It was a childhood dream
Mama's boy is crazy about the singer
Trying to prove he's a man
His heart is heading for a breakdown
Can he meet her demands?

Find the love his mama never gave him
Will she walk through his door?
He didn't know about the singer's boyfriend
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Don't you dare to look behind you
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Run, run, run, run
Run for your life, boy

He never knew his daddy
He growing up too fast
The kids at school don't like him
They know his luck won't last
His mama home with her boyfriend
She don't care where he's at
So he thumbs a ride back to Queen Street

Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Don't you dare to look behind you
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Run for your life if you can, boy, run
Run, run, run, run, run
Don't you dare to look behind you

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't you dare to look behind you
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Don't you dare to look behind you
