When I was young
I fell in love. We used to
hold hands, man,
that was enough
Then we grew up
started to touch
Used to kiss underneath
the light on the back of
the bus
Oh no, you're daddy didn't
like me much. And he
didn't believe me when I
said you were the one
Oh, every day
she found a way out of the
window to sneak out late
She used to meet me
on the Eastside
In the city where the sun
don't set. And every day
you know that we ride
through the backstreets
in my blue Corvette
Baby you know I just
wanna leave tonight. We
can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast
Jump in the seat
Just take my hand and
come with me, yeah
We can do anything
if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then
you put a line through it
My love is yours if you're
willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause
I ain't gonna break it. So
come away, starting today.
Start a new life together in
a different place
We know that love is how
these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
Seventeen and we got a
dream to have a family
A house and everything
in between. And then, oh,
suddenly
we turned 23
Now we got pressure for
taking our life more
seriously.
We got our dead-end jobs
and got bills to pay
Have old friends and
know our enemies
Now I, I'm thinkin' back to
when I was young. Back
to the day when I was
falling in love. He used to
meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun
don't set. And every day
you know where we ride
Through the backstreets
in a blue Corvette
And baby, you know I just
wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere
we want
Drive down to the coast
jump in the seat
Just take my hand and
go with me
Singin'
We can do anything
if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then
you put a line through it
My love is yours
if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause
I ain't gonna break it
So come away,
starting today
Start a new life, together
in a different place
We know that love is how
these ideas came to be
So baby, run away
with me
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
He used to meet me
on the Eastside
She used to meet me
on the Eastside
He used to meet me
on the Eastside
She used to meet me
on the Eastside
In the city where
the sun don't set
