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
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
 run away
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 '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
 I wasn't letting go
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah, run away!
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah!
