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

But 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 choose




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

She 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 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 had 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

?

And then I come home after they go to sleep

Like a stumbling ghost, I'll 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 till tomorrow


Now we're caught up in the appeal baby why you wanna hide it


It's the last thing on my mind

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 had you
