[Verse 1]

She opens the door to his flat but he isn't here

All he's left is a chair and some fishing gear

He never mentioned making plans of heading anywhere

He's definitely gone it makes her wonder did he ever care?

Everybody said they'd never met a better pair

On the dance floor Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire

She's ripping out her hair loyalty is very rare

Staring down a steep set of stairs to the devil's lair

Why would he disappear? Wasn't their mission clear

She was happy to raise the kids and he would be an engineer

I guess the best thing to do is learn a lesson here

Never trust anybody even after seven years

It was very weird she found herself

In a time and a place she could face her fears

Graced with a face full of tears

Time to start the pursuit, yeah, it is what it is

[Chorus]

He's a highway man on the road to nowhere

Slow down you don’t want to go there

Run highway man, run, run, run

Run she's got your number

And when it's all said and done

You're running up the barrel of a gun

Run highway man, run

Pulling up and picking up the pieces defeats the purpose

Run highway man, run

{Verse 2]

Can you read body language

Or do you need to see blood on a fang tip?

The predator is out on the prowl

Everybody down

Ain't no place you can hide from a lurker

How you gonna hide your face? Burka

Ostrich head in a hole

You can only go backwards mole, twerker

How you gonna win a foot race with a cheater

Balls on the table, golden retriever

Nice to meet ya, wouldn't wanna be ya

Leave it to Beaver we got a bleeder

Laying on a bed in regret, all he said

Was he wished he could forget that day

But he better remember that a black widow kills

Her mate when she gets her way (and she always gets her way)

[Chorus]

He's a highway man on the road to nowhere

Slow down you don’t want to go there

Run highway man, run, run, run

Run she's got your number

And when it's all said and done

You're running up the barrel of a gun

Run highway man, run

Pulling up and picking up the pieces defeats the purpose

Run highway man, run

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah it is what it is, it is what it is

And she always gets her way

Yeah it is what it is, it is what it is

And she always gets her way

Yeah it is what it is, it is what it is

And she always gets her way

Yeah it is what it is, it is what it is

And she always gets her way

[Bridge]

Runnin' to the future, runnin' from the past

Runnin' through the alleyways, runnin' through the park

Runnin' from the light, runnin' to the dark

You keep on running away

Runnin' to the future, runnin' from the past

Runnin' through the alleyways, runnin' through the park

Runnin' from the light, runnin' to the dark

You keep on runnin' away

[Chorus]

He's a highway man on the road to nowhere

Slow down you don’t want to go there

Run highway man, run, run, run

Run she's got your number

And when it's all said and done

You're running up the barrel of a gun

Run highway man, run

Pulling up and picking up the pieces defeats the purpose

Run highway man, run

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah it is what it is, it is what it is

And she always gets her way

Yeah it is what it is, it is what it is

And she always gets her way

Yeah it is what it is, it is what it is

And she always gets her way

Yeah it is what it is, it is what it is

And she always gets her way
