Came to the city just a country girl
Thinking how fast can you change the world
But to your surprise

It all takes time

Flashing lights like you're a movie star

It's just the glare coming off the bar
It's not what you thought
Not the ticket you bought


This lonesome road can make you
It'll grab a hold and take you

You can't do much 'bout what they think
They'll be movin' on before you can blink


Now it's alright
It's okay
Eveything's moving away too fast

You're just a runaway

And it's alright

It's okay
You're trying to make it on your own
You're just a runaway


Came to the city just a simple kid
Made you a woman look at what they did

Ripped out another page
Left it on the stage


All you can breathe is the cloudy air
Root for the smoke and the twisted stairs
You can make it back

Just across the tracks

The cold hard streets can make you

The sleepless nights might take you
You can lose yourself before you wake
It won't be long before you break


(Yeah)
It's alright

It's okay
Everything's movin' away too fast
You're just a runaway


And it's alright
It's okay

You'll try to make it on your own
You're just a runaway


You're just a runaway

(Yeah)(oh now)

It's alright
It's okay
Everything's movin' away too fast


And it's alright
It's okay

You'll try to make it on your own
You're just a runaway


So all alone
And now you're tryin' to make it on your own
You're just a runaway

You're just a runaway
