Raitt has received 10 Grammy Awards. She is listed as number 50 in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" and number 89 on the magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong

With our love, a love that was so strong

And as still walk on I think of the things we've done

Together while our hearts were young

I'm a walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain

Wishing you were here by me to end this misery

And I wonder, I wo wo wo wo wonder

Why, why why why why why she (you) ran away

And I wonder where she (you) will stay

My little runaway, a run run run run runaway.
