Running away
To get away
Ha-ha ha-ha
You're wearing out your shoes

Making blues
Of night and day
Hee-hee hee-hee
You're stretching out your dues

Shorter cut
Is quicker but
Ha-ha ha-ha
Time is here to stay

The deeper in debt
The harder you bet
Ha-ha ha-ha
You're wearing out your shoes

Another day
You're farther away
Ha-ha ha-ha
A longer trip back home
