She said she hated tourists
But she wanted to travel the world
Said the best things in life were free
And then worked all day to feed herself
She said you never know what you got until it's gone
And she complained about the rain like she'd never seen the sun
She said good things come to those who wait
And then she waited four hours for a cancelled train
She said
You try and catch me
I'll never stop running
With a pound in my pocket and my life inside a bag
You try and catch me
I know where I'm going
I'll be half way round the world before you even know I'm gone
She said I'm moving on
She fell in love with a book once
Fell in love with the page
She fell in love with the author
Didn't remember his name
She read your soul weighs nothing but a lump in your throat
The one's you see less are the one's you love most
So she burnt that book and flew down to the coast
She said
You try and catch me
I'll never stop running
With a pound in my pocket and my life inside a bag
You try and catch me
I know where I'm going
I'll be half way round the world before you even know I'm gone
She said I'm moving on
So she's sitting on a train with her bags at her feet
Stories entertain every pair of ears that she meets
She's got gold in her soul
What she wants nobody knows
She's got two right feet and a bag full of clothes
She's got gold in her soul
Going nowhere slowly and that's what she needs
She's on the right track to where she'd rather be
She's got gold in her so-oul
You try and catch me
I'll never stop running
With a pound in my pocket and my life inside a bag
You try and catch me
I know where I'm going
I'll be half way round the world before you even know I'm gone
She said I'm moving on
