Running away
To get away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
You're wearing out your shoes

Looh at you fooling you!

Making blues of day and night
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee!
You're stretching out your dues

The shorter cut is quicker
But ... Ha! Ha! Time is here to stay! 
Look at you fooling you!

The deeper in debt
The harder you bet
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee! 
Need more room to play! 
Look at you fooling you!

Another day
You're farther away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
A longer trip back home!
