If I have to run, I'm not runnin' out on you

If I have to shake a little sand out of my shoes

I'm runnin' from the law, or they'll put me inside



Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide

Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide



I've been on the run since the good Lord knows when

And the day I die, I'll still be runnin' then

Runnin' from the days when I would lay me down and cry



Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide

Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide



Will I love you tomorrow?

Yes, I will

(My love)

Yes, I will

(My love)



Will I beg, steal or borrow?

Yes, I will

(My love)

Oh, yes, I will

(My love)



To spend a little time happy to be by your side

Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide



Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide



If I have to run, I'm not runnin' out on you

If I have to shake a little sand out of my shoes

I'm runnin' from the law or they'll put me inside



Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide

Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide



Baby, won't you let me have a little time

Baby, won't you let me have a little time

Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide
