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
I KNOW YOUR 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'D RIDE
THROUGH THE BACKSTREETS
IN A BLUE CORVETTE
BABY YOU KNOW I JUST
WANNA LEAVE TONIGHT
WE CAN GO ANYWHERE
WE WANT
DRIVE DOWN TO THE
COAST JUMP IN THE SEA
JUST TAKE MY HAND AND
COME WITH ME YEAH
WE CAN DO ANYTHING IF
WE PUT OUR MINDS TO IT
TAKE YOUR OLD 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
ALL 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 TWENTY
THREE
AND NOW WE GOT
PRESSURE FOR
TAKING OUR LIFE
MORE SERIOUSLY
WE GOT OUR DEAD-END JOBS
AND GOT BILLS TO PAY
OUR OLD FRIENDS ARE
NOW OUR ENEMIES
AND NOW I I'M THINKING 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 WELL WE'D 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 SEA
JUST TAKE MY HAND AND
COME WITH ME SINGING
WE CAN DO ANYTHING IF
WE PUT OUR MINDS TO IT
TAKE YOUR OLD 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 TO START A
NEW LIFE TOGETHER IN
A DIFFERENT PLACE
WE KNOW THAT LOVE IS HOW
ALL 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
