She's working the late shift here downtown In the guts of the city She's got a room, no money down And it ain't to pretty But she made up her mind To leave it behind Amy had to run, it's alright She's having fun in another life And she won't be going back for anyone Now Amy's on the run She's watching the young boys at the bar All chiselled and flexing She tells them a joke or two then stops Just short of confessing They know she's a man They all understand Why Amy had to run, it's alright She's having fun in another life And she won't be going back for anyone Now Amy's on the run So she dreams of the day With everything she scrimps and saves They're gonna change her all the way And it's not a crime It's just that nature got it wrong this time This time She made up her mind To leave it behind Amy had to run, it's alright She's having fun in another life And she won't be coming back for anyone, anyone Now Amy's on the run
