Tony Carey Running Away From The Thought Of You Lyrics

I'm sittin in a hotel on claymore avenue
talkin' to the walls, think' 'bout callin you
but I can't go back, cause it don't come so easily
I pack my bags and I'm free
oh darlin

I, I'm runnin away from the thought of you
I'm tellin myself that's what I should do
but darlin', it just won't work out
I, I'm makin' believe that's the way to go
I'll pack up and leave you before you know
oh baby, it just won't work out

waitin' on a backstreet with my thumb up in the air
I'm burnin up the concrete, and it don't matter where
but I can't go back 'cause it don't come so easily
I pack my bags and I'm free - whoowhooo

I, I'm runnin away from the thought of you
I'm tellin myself that's what I should do
but darlin', it just won't work out
I, I'm makin' believe that's the way to go
I'll pack up and leave you before you know
'cause darlin, it just won't work out girl it's true
there is no one else but you
but this happens every time
I get scared
and I run for the open air
just when everything is goin' so fine

I'm stoppin at a phone booth, I wonder if you're home
stuffin in the quarters, I'm feelin so alone
but it just rings on it's rainin' where I'm callin from
I grab my bag and I'm gone - woah ho ho ho

I, I'm runnin away from the thought of you
tellin myself that's what I should do
oh darlin', it just won't work out
I, I'm makin' believe that's the way to go
I'll pack up and leave you before you know
'cause darlin, it just won't work out

I, I'm runnin away from the thought of you
tellin myself that's what I should do
oh darlin', it just won't work out
I, I'm makin' believe that's the way to go
I'll pack up and leave you before you know
