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
