(Hidden Verse 4)

I’m not running away from my problems
Or running away from my life
I’m just running toward a different place
Where I know I’ll be treated right
I’ll find a girl who loves me
We’ll settle down and say “I Do”
I’ll look at what I had say “Boy I’m glad”
That I’m Hell and Gone from you
