What Would They Say lyrics

What would they say

If we up and ran away

From the roaring crowd

And the worn out city faces

Would they carry on and on

When they found out we were gone

Or would they let us go

Would they tag along or would they just

Leave us alone,

We'd live in the country

Leave us alone,

We'd make it just fine

Happy in a one-room shack

And we'd not look back

Now would we

What would they do

If they found out we were through

With the little lies

And the downtown aggravations

That we traded them away

For a quiet country day

That we had hoped to share

Would they try to find out where we were, or

Leave us alone,

We'd live in the country

Leave us alone,

We'd make it just fine

Happy in a one-room shack

And we'd not look back

Now would we

What would they say

If we up and ran away...

Ran away...
