Blonde hair blowin' in summer wind
A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand
I'd been on a trail for a little while
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
The teenage rush, she said, maybe I'll just runaway, we got time
Well 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 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
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
And we're all just runaways
I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway
I knew that 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 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 and we all runaway
I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway
I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin go, no no no
And we're all just runaways
And we're all just runaways
