So run baby run baby
So run baby run baby
Run baby run baby run
To the comfort of the strangers slipping out before they say
Run baby run baby run
From their old familiar faces and their old familiar ways
She smiles the secret smile and sure she knows exactly how to carry on
He taught her how to
So run baby run baby
Run baby run baby run
Run baby run baby run
And she pictures all the places where she knows she still belongs
So run baby run baby
Run baby run baby run
So long baby loves to run
And she's think of all the places where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile because she knows exactly how
To the comfort of the strangers and slipping out before they say
At the workers fighting through the pouring rain
To carry on
In stares hopeful out the window
So run baby run baby
So run baby run baby
Run baby run
And she's searching through the stations for an unfamiliar song
Run baby run baby run
Run baby run baby run
Run baby run baby run
And she's searching through the stations for an unfamiliar song
Run baby run baby run baby
So long, and baby loves to run
The only thing she'd need to carry on
So run baby run baby
Where he knew that she'd belong but he failed and taught her young
Singing mighty protest songs and he pictured all the places
So run baby run baby
Past the arms of the familiar and their talk of better days
She counts out all her money in the taxi on the way to meet her plane
So her mama got high, high, high and her Daddy marched on Birmingham
So run baby run baby
