"What Would They Say" lyrics

What would they say?
If we up and ran away
From the roaring crowds
And the worn-out city faces

Would they carry on and on?
When they found out we were gone
Or, would they let us go?
Would they tag along?
Or, would they know, to?
Leave us alone?

We'd live in the country
Leave us alone
We'd make it just fine
Happy, in a one-room shack
And we'd not look back
Now would we

What would they do?
If they found out we were through
With all the little lies
And the downtown aggravations

That we'd traded them away
For a quiet country day
That we had hoped to share
Would they try to find out?
Where we were?
Or leave us alone

We'd live in the country
Leave us alone
We'd make it just fine
Happy, in a one-room shack
And we'd not look back
Now would we

What would they say?
If we up and ran away
Ran away
