Laura Nyro - He's a Runner lyrics

He's a runner and he'll run away

Soon there'll be no man

Woman ain't been born who can make him stay

Woman, get away while you can

He's a runner

He's a runner and he'll run away

With the midnight train

Woman ain't been born who can make him stay

Come the judgement day, come the rain

He's a runner

There'll come the running, he knows he got to

Don't ask him not to or why

Oh, why, why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow?

Now I'm in chains 'til I die

He's a runner and he'll run away

Soon there'll be no man

Woman ain't been born who can make him stay

Woman, get away while you can

He's a runner

He's a runner and he's got to run

He's got to run away

He's a runner
