Puerto Rico all day on the beach   Blue water, white sand at her feet   Too bad it's just a magazine   It'll always be that place she's never seen      She's home running away   From the same old same old everyday   In day out, predictable routine      Oh, she stays home running away   To the place in her mind   Where he'll take her someday   When he gets the time, until then she's home   Running away      Fancy lunch with her best friend Ruby Mae   Dinner plans with her husband start at eight   But the dream ends with supper on the stove   The kitchen's about as far as she can go      She's home running away   From the same old, same old everyday   In day out, predictable routine      Oh, she stays home running away   To the place in her mind   Where he'll take her someday   When he gets the time, until then she's home   Running away      He walks in the door   With her dreams in his hands   A two week vacation   'Cause he knows she's been      Home running away   From the same old same old everyday   In day out, predictable routine      Yeah she's been home running away   To the place in her mind   Where he'll take her someday   When he gets the time, until then she's home   Running away, running away
