Woke up this morning I was all alone saw your picture by the telephone
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish I had you here to hold all I've got is this touch-tone phone
So I guess I'll give you a call
Operator help me please get thru to my baby way overseas
Time's a wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you I don't know what we're gonna do
But for now I'm glad I got you on the line
Well it feels so fine knowing you're all right
But you're miles away lord it's not the same
Well I woke up this morning I was all alone saw your picture by the telephone
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might come on home and squeeze me tight
Long distance lovin's gonna drive me out of my mindEverybody's On The Run

"I talk to more answering machines in a day, than I do to
people. Nobody's home."
First time I ran was to the end of the block
But I didn't know then that it never would stop
Now I look around and what do I see
More and more people runnin' faster than me
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
Well I fell in love for the very first time
But I couldn't keep up with that girl of mine
Night after night on a mighty fast track
She ran like the wind and she never looked back
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
-- Spoken: "Let's run"
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
Now I've been to England and I've been to France
I learned to love oysters and I know how to dance
Someday I'll die and come back again
As some little boy just-a runnin' to win
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
Look in the mirror and what do I see
The gypsy and fool that I always will be
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
