She had a white wedding one hundred guests and a four piece band

But she's as sad as Sunday the groom's as cold as a snowman's hand

But out of nowhere, came her saviour

Down the aisle comes Johnny from the promised land

As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me

As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free

In an old motel they fell asleep after driving thru the nite

The word's gone out on the citizen's cands

Her daddy has put a price on Johnny's life

But out of danger deep in Texas she found heaven

Hanging' onto Johnny's hand

As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me

As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free

And if you break away I can give you a fast car going west

Ain't got a lot o' time just 24 hours of happiness

But if you wake one day and hear my voice on a cool breeze blowin' south

Remember you and me living our life in 24 hours

Soon enough they'll track us down

Time runs out for freedom in the end

Well it's bars for me and the bride to be

In her daddy's caddy

Abducted from the promised land

As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me

As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free

As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me

As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free
