Lyrics
I hope you`re on it
If there`s a train moving fast down the tracks
I hope you caught it
Cause I swear out there ain`t where you ought to be
So catch a ride, catch a cab
Don`t you know I miss you bad
But don`t you walk to me
Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can`t get here fast enough
Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run
If you ain`t got a suit case
Get a box or an old brown paper sack
Pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a Chevy
Baby just come back
There`s a shortcut to the highway out of town
Why don`t you take it
Don`t let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it
Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can`t get here fast enough
Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run
Baby run
Oh baby run
