YOU'RE RUNNING WILD
(Ray Edenten & Don Winters/Acuff-Rose, BMI, 1956)

You're running wild. How long can this go on?
You're leaving me alone and running wild.
You're always gone. My love you'll never share.
It's more than I can bear. You're running wild.

You'll settle down some day and find I've gone away.
You'll think of what you've done while running wild.
I can't go on. You'll have to choose the way.
You'll have to go or stay. Stop running wild.

(Repeat 2nd verse)
