Lyrics

With big thanks to Robert Szkolnicki from Winnipeg who had the idea and wrote it. Why, why, why, why, why? You'd have to ask him....

Runaway by Del Shannon

As I drive to golf
I wonder what is wrong
With my car
As the engine light comes on
And as I still drive on
I think of cash I’ve paid to Jim Coleman
Can’t wait to tell Wilbon

I'm a yellin’ at OnStar
What is wrong with this bleeping car?
Can’t stay calm because I see
Engine light flashin’ back at me
And I worry
I wor-wor-wor-wor-worry
That’s my move

My, my, my, my, move every day
Yes, and I worry
Don’t care what you say
I'll worry anyway
Wor, wor, wor, wor-ry, anyway

    Very cool all around. I love that this combines into one jingle examples of several great vocal styles that John can do... from the smooth intro, the rasp to start the middle section and then the killer falsetto. All sound great!

    You got it John. Nice tweaks. Great vocals. I heard "Runaway" this afternoon on the radio and immediately came up with the lines "I'll worry anyway" and "the engine light came on".
