lyrics

runnin'

she saw you sneakin' off just before the break of dawn
she watched you through the window as you pulled away with no headlights on
she felt a little relieved she felt a little sad
she thought you shoulda stuck around
and then she just felt had

you've been runnin' all your life
you don't need nobody's help
you've been runnin' all this time
you don't need nobody else

there's a string of diners up and down the coast
you've got nicknames for the waitresses
they know you like your eggs on toast
some of them are married some gave up long ago
some'll meet you out behind the kitchen when their shift is over

you've been runnin'

you know i used to love you and i was sure you loved me too
i used to fantasize we'd live like other people do
i loved your awful sneer loved your crumpled clothes
one day i saw you walkin out like some late night movie ghost

you've been runnin'

next time you're sneakin' off just before the break of dawn
say a prayer for the girl you leave where the blinds are drawn
she'll feel a little colder she'll feel a little sad
she'll hope to god when she gets older
it won't hurt so bad

you've been runnin' all your life
you don't need nobody's help
you've been runnin' all this time
you don't need nobody else

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
