Puerto Rico all day on the beach
Blue water, white sand at her feet
Too bad it's just a magazine
It'll always be that place she's never seen

She's home running away
From the same old same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine

Oh, she stays home running away
To the place in her mind
Where he'll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she's home
Running away

Fancy lunch with her best friend Ruby Mae
Dinner plans with her husband start at eight
But the dream ends with supper on the stove
The kitchen's about as far as she can go

She's home running away
From the same old, same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine

Oh, she stays home running away
To the place in her mind
Where he'll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she's home
Running away

He walks in the door
With her dreams in his hands
A two week vacation
'Cause he knows she's been

Home running away
From the same old same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine

Yeah she's been home running away
To the place in her mind
Where he'll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she's home
Running away, running away
