Here I go once again   With my suitcase in my hand   And I'm running away down River Road   And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home   Yes, I'm chasing my dreams down River Road      Mama said, listen child   You're too old to run wild   You're too big to be fishin' with the boys these days      So I grabbed some clothes and I ran   Stole five dollars from a sugar can   A twelve year old jail breaker runnin' away      Here I go once again   With my suitcase in my hand   And I'm running away down River Road   And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home   I'm chasing my dreams down River Road      Well, I married a pretty good man   And he tries to understand   But he knows I've got leavin' on my mind these days      When I get that urge to roam   I'm just like a kid again   The same old jail breaker runnin' away      Here I go once again   With my suitcase in my hand   And I'm running away down River Road   And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home   I'm chasing my dreams down River Road
