If I have to run, I'm not runnin' out on you. If I have to shake a little sand out of my shoes, I'm runnin' from the law, or they'll put me inside.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide. Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
I've been on the run since the Good Lord knows when, And the day I die, I'll still be runnin' then, Runnin' from the days when I would lay me down and cry.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide. Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
Will I love you tomorrow? Yes, I will; my love, Oh yes I will, my love.
Will I beg, steal or borrow? Yes, I will; my love, Oh yes I will, my love.
To spend a little time happy to be by your side. Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
If I have to run, I'm not runnin' out on you. If I have to shake a little sand out of my shoes, I'm runnin' from the law, or they'll put me inside.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time, Baby, won't you let me have a little time, Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
