Now she was only 17 when she ran away
She had to get away saying that she couldn’t stay
Packed a bag on Saturday and then she stole away
Into the night trying to get so far away
But where you gonna go girl? What you gonna do girl?
You can’t run from yourself it catch up to you
Why you looking for someone to be loving you
When He’s right here right above you?
Chorus
Where you gonna go? (Where you gonna go?)
Where you going to (Where you going to?)
Where you gonna go, oh, oh
From the One that’s loving you (You can’t run from yourself no more)
Big city she a little girl just on the street
Looking for love up in the arms of every man she meets
And every other night she just cries herself asleep
Will she find relief will she ever find her peace
But where you gonna go girl
What you gonna do girl
You can’t run from yourself it catch up to you
Why you looking for someone to be loving you
When He’s right here right above you
Chorus
It’s 2 am it’s just another day just once again
She want to go home but she don’t know just where it is
Sick of what she does sick of life and how she lives
On the run from the Father and the love He gives
Where you gonna go girl? What you gonna do girl?
You can’t run from yourself it catch up to you
Why you looking for someone to be loving you
When He’s right here right above you?
How long how long will you run girl?
You can’t run no place else no more
How long will you run girl?
You can’t run no place else no more
