blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
a blueeyed girl playing in the sand
i’d been on her trail for a little while
but that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
a teenage rush
she said ain’t we all just runaways we got time
pre
but that ain’t much
we can’t wait till tomorrow
you got to know that this is real baby why you want to 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 runaway somewhere else
someplace good
pre
we can’t wait til tomorrow
you got to know that this is real baby why you want to 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 going to 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
4
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
pre
we can’t wait till tomorrow
oh we’re caught up in the appeal baby why you wanna hide it
it’s the last thing on my mind why you want to 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 going to let you run away
i knew it when i held you i wasn’t letting go
oh oh oh
ain’t we all just runaways
yeah runaways
ain’t we all just runaways
yeah
