Well now people got their problems

And they always want to share

Like a bee in their bonnet or honey in their hair

Or they got a man that they don't want no more

And I say oh my friend all you need is a door

Well you gotta get up when you're down

Put your finger on a map and pick a town

If you want, well you could stay

If I was you I'd run away, I'd run away, I'd run away

They're gonna roll you for the money that you owe

They're gonna burn down your barn

They'll come a knockin' at your door, they always knock so hard

But you gotta get up when you're down

Put your finger on a globe and spin it round round

Where it stops, you gotta go

You can run from your problems, I oughtta know

You can take a train

You can take an airplane

Just take my advice

Move your feet, now move 'em twice

And when they ask me "which way did he go?"

I'll do you a favor and tell them I don't know

And one day you'll forget what you're running from

Because everything goes just as quick as it comes

Oh you gotta get up when you're down

Put your finger on a map and pick any old town

If you want well you could stay...

If I was you, if I was you, if I was you

I'd run away
