'Cause I'm four days gone into runnin'
And the Government madness, I ran away
And I'm free marched out in my town
If it's all the same
And I do want to thank you for the ride, sir
And my baby is waitin', I hope, sir
I've been travelin' four days and nights, sir
And I hate to say, I can't tell you my name
I'll be on my way at the next turn
And the soup your wife made tasted fine
After fifteen trucks and an old Ford
