Lyrics
If there’s a plane or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope you’re on it
If there’s a train moving fast down the tracks
I hope you caught itCause 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 meBaby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can’t get here fast enoughFind 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 runIf you ain’t got a suit case
Get a box or an old brown paper sack
And pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a Chevy
Baby just come backThere’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 itBaby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can’t get here fast enoughFind 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 runBaby run
Oh baby run
Baby run
