With a spark in her eyes,
she just sat there and stared
As his face lit up to the rocket's red glare
she'd asked him for a wedding bound
He walked out the door in
And her sleepy voice whispered
as he turned out the light
She said, where you gonna go?
What you gonna do when you get there?
when your road runs out at the sea?
Boy, you're never gonna find
someone who loves you like I do
If you get tired of running,
you can turn around and walk back to me
He called her up to say he
Texas Panhandle was as far as it got
He'd run out of gas in his pickup truck
Hitch a ride, catch a train
Cause there's a baby on the way
and that makes three of us
And I need you here beside me,
She told him one more time,
and she hung up the phone
Saying where you gonna go,
what you gonna do when you get there
when your road rounds out at the sea
You know you're never gonna find
someone who loves you like I do
When you get tired of running
you can turn around and walk back to me
The years just seem to roll on by them
And she knew someday soon
What you gonna do when you get there?
when your road runs out at the sea?
You know you're never gonna find
someone who loves you like I do
When you get tired of running,
you can turn around and walk back to me
If you ever get tired of running,
turn around and walk back to me
