Runaways

1. Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind
A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand
I'd been on her trail for a little while
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
The teenage rush, she said, "Ain't we all just runaways, we got time"
Well that ain't much...

[Chorus:]
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!

2. 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 says she might just runaway somewhere else, some place good.

[Coda:]
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 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 to 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 girl but I can't settle in these walls.

We can't wait 'til tomorrow
Now 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 alive and 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, no no no
(No no no)
Ain't we all just runaways
Yeah runaway
Ain't we all just runaways
Yeah.
