Keep On Running

(Brian Setzer/Bernie Taupin)

She had a white wedding
100 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 Bands
Her Daddy’s put a price on Johnny’s life
But out of danger
Deep in Texas
She found heaven
Hanging onto Johnny’s hand

And if you break away
I cam 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

Performed by The Stray Cats from the album Let’s Go Faster, 1990. Link To Song
