If i have to run, i'm not runnin' out on you.
If i have to shake a little sand out of my shoes,
I'm runnin' from the law, or they'll put me inside.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.

I've been on the run since the good lord knows when,
And the day i die,
I'll still be runnin' then,
Runnin' from the days when i would lay me down and cry.

Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.

Will i love you tomorrow?
Yes, i will; my love,
Oh yes i will, my love.

Will i beg, steal or borrow?
Yes, i will; my love,
Oh yes i will, my love.

To spend a little time happy to be by your side.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.

If i have to run, i'm not runnin' out on you.
If i have to shake a little sand out of my shoes,
I'm runnin' from the law, or they'll put me inside.

Baby, won't you let me have a little time,
Baby, won't you let me have a little time,
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
