You come home late and you come home early
You come home big when you're feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all

What in the world has come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness;
Out there running just to be on the run

I got a heart that burns with a fever
I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that will last forever
Get left so far behind?

What in the world has come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness;
Out there running just to be on the run

It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It's passed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow;
You ain't got one word to say

What in the world has come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness;
Out there running just to be on the run
Out there running just to be on the run
Out there running just to be on the run
