Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
Blue eyed girl playing 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
Teenage rush
She said
Ain't we all just runaways?
We got time and that ain't much
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't 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've got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild
It's in my blood
You said she might just runaway
Somewhere else, someplace 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't 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 runaway
I knew it when I held you
I wasn't letting go
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
Hold each other 'till 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 this hall
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 'till tomorrow
No 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
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 letting go
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeeeaah, runaways (Ain't we all just runaways?)
Yeeeaah
