Runaways

Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind

A blue-eyed girl playin' in the sand

I've been on the trail for a little while

But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand

A teenage rush

She said, "Ain't we all just runaways? We got time"

But that ain't much

We can't wait 'til tomorrow

You gotta know that this is real, baby, why you wanna fight it?

It's the one thing you can choose, oh!



We got engaged on a Friday night

I swore on the head of our unborn child

That I could take care of the three of us

But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild

It's in my blood

She said she might just runaway somewhere else

Someplace good

We can't wait 'til tomorrow

You gotta know that this is real, baby, why you wanna fight it?

It's the one thing you can't choose

Let's take a chance baby, we can't lose



[Hook]

Ain't we all just runaways?

I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you

Runaway

I knew it when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go!



We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams

Hold each other 'til the morning light

We used to laugh, now we only fight

Baby are you lonesome now?



At night I come home after they go to sleep

Like a stumbling a ghost, I haunt these halls

There's a picture of us on our wedding day

I recognize the groom but I can't settle in these walls



We can't wait 'til tomorrow

Oh we're caught up in the appeal baby, why you wanna hide it?

It's the last thing on my mind (Why you wanna hide it?)

I turn the engine over and my body just comes



[Hook]



Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeah, runaways

Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeah
