[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
C
You’ve been dodging potholes and “I love you’s”
F
Since your daddy got a job here, 2002
C F
Big city dreamer with the small town blues
C
Yeah, you caught my heart and everybody’s eye
F
At the karaoke bar singing “One Headlight”
C F
Finished your drink, told me in the neon light
Am F
“I’m meant for more than this”
Am F
And I agreed with a kiss
F
And said
[Chorus]
C
Run, run, baby
C
Out of this town
Dm7
If California’s calling, go and chase it down
Am7
They can say it’s cliché
G F
You won’t know until you go and find out
C
So, run, run, baby
C
Nothing to lose
Dm7
Don’t get hung up on these hometown roots
Am7 G F
Yeah, I hate to admit it but we both know that it’s true
C
Leaving looks good on you
Dm F
On you
Am7
On you
G F
Leaving looks good on you
[Verse 2]
C
Yeah, you looked real good in the photos of us
F
But you look so happy on a Greyhound bus
C
Window seat, waving at me
F
Through a cloud of dust
F
But it tore me up saying
[Chorus]
C
Run, run, baby
C
Out of this town
Dm7
If California’s calling, go and chase it down
Am7
They can say it’s cliché

You won’t know until you go and find out

[Verse 3]
G
Yeah, the hometown said that you’re gonna go far
F
And Hollywood said that you’re gonna be a star
G
And I know what I said in the karaoke bar
F
But if you ever said you wanted back in my arms I’d say
[Chorus]
C
Run, run, baby
C
Out of that town
F
If California ain’t where you wanna settle down
Am
They can say it’s cliché
G F
You won’t know until you go and find out
C
So, run, run, baby
C
Nothing to lose
Dm
If you’re still hung up on these hometown roots
Am G F
Show ‘em all out there something I already knew
C
Leaving looks good on you
