Blonde hair blowin'
in the summer wind
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'
but that ain't much
We can't wa...it
till tomorrow
You've gotta know that
this is real baby
why d'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 says she might
just runaway
somewhere else
some place good
We can't wa...it
till tomorrow
You've gotta know that
this is real baby
why d'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 runaway
I knew it when I held
you wasn't lettin' 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?
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 recognise the groom
but I can't settle in
these walls
We can't wa...it
till tomorrow
Oh we're caught up
in the appeal baby
why d'you wanna hide it
it's the last thing
on my mind?
I turn the engine over
and my body just
comes ali....ve
and 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
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ye...ah
Runaways
Ye...ah
