[Couplet 1] :

-Blonde hair blowin´ in the summer wind
A blue-eyed girl playin´ in the sand
I´ve been on the 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"
But that ain´t much
We can´t wait ´til tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real, baby, why you wanna fight it?
It´s the one thing you can choose, oh!

[Couplet 2] :

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
We can´t wait ´til tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real, baby, why you wanna fight it?
It´s the one thing you can´t choose
Let´s take a chance baby, we can´t lose

[Refrain]

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 held you, I wasn´t lettin´ go!

[Couplet 3] :

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?

[Couplet 4] :

At night I come home after they go to sleep
Like a stumbling a ghost, I haunt these halls
There´s a picture of us on our wedding day
I recognize the? but I can´t settle in these walls

We can´t wait ´til 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 wanna hide it?)
I turn the engine over and my body just comes

[Refrain]

Ain´t we all just runaways?
Yeah, runaways
Ain´t we all just runaways?
