(Walt Aldridge/Bobby Tomberlin)



She made her exit a month ago tomorrow

Called up her mama and asked if she could borrow

Enough money to leave for awhile

Mama said you always were impulsive child

She bought a ticket at the Greyhound station

Said she needed a permanent vacation

Ran out of money by Santa Fe

Hitchhiked the rest of the way



And she blew into town with a runaway heart

Like a Santa Ana blowin' down Ocean Boulevard

Everybody said she was a restless one

Never knew where she was going but

She sure did like to run



She took a job with a bucket and a wet mop

Saved her pay checks and bought an old ragtop

She'd crank it up and let her hair down

They'd hear her coming for miles around



And she blew into town with a runaway heart

Like a Santa Ana blowin' down Ocean Boulevard

Everybody said she was a restless one

Never knew where she was going but

She sure did like to run



Last time I saw her she was letting the top down

She wouldn't tell me but I think she was south bound

She waved good-bye and looked back and smiled

And took off after the call of the wild



And she blew out of town with a runaway heart

Like a Santa Ana blowin' down Ocean Boulevard

Everybody said she was a restless woman

Never knew where she was going

She never knew where she was going

Never knew where she was going

But she sure did like to run
