Words and Music by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson
Just runnin’ scared, each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin’ scared. What would I do
if he came back and wanted you?
Just runnin’ scared, feelin’ low
Runnin’ scared ... You loved him so
Just runnin’ scared, afraid to lose
If he came back, which one would you choose?
Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking. Which one will it be?
You turned around and walked away with me!

Just runnin’ scared, afraid to lose
