Tab Hunter (Film Soundtrack) - 1958




(He's a runaway)
(He's a runaway)

Give me my head and let me go
I'm not bred for trav'lin slow
Like a buckin' bronc in a rodeo
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)

Got no time to be delayed
Always calls a spade a spade
There's a lot of debts I haven't paid
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)

I'll beg or steal or borrow
My saddle and my tack
I'm headin' for tomorrow
And I'm never comin' back

Oh, follow my tracks and you will find
The broken hearts I've left behind
'Cause I'm just not the marryin' kind
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)

So many sights I've never seen
So many prairies inbetween
Got a strong young horse and a full canteen
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)

So many gals I haven't met
So many cards I haven't bet
Gotta take a chance ev'ry chance I get
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)

I'm headin' for the border
As peaceful as can be
I'm all for law and order
Long as they don't bother me

So many nights for havin' fun
So many fights I haven't won
There's not enough notches on my gun
I'm a runaway (Runaway, runaway)
I'm a runaway
