Runaways

Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind

A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand

I've been on a trail for a little while

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

Teenage rush, she said, ain't we all just runaways?

We got time

We can't wait till 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 run away somewhere else

Some place good

We can't wait till tomorrow

You gotta know that this is real baby

Why you wanna fight it

It's the one thing you can choose

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

Ain't we all just runaways?

I knew it when I met you

I'm not gonna let you

I knew it when I held you

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 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 till tomorrow

Now we're caught up in the appeal,

Baby why you wanna hide it?

It's the last thing on my mind

you wanna hide

I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive

Ain't we all just runaways?

I knew it when I met you

I'm not gonna let you run away

I knew it when I held you

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeah, run away!

Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeah!
