Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
Blue eyed girl playing 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

Teenage rush
She said
Ain't we all just runaways?
We got time and that ain't much

We can't wait till tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can't 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've got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild
It's in my blood
You said she might just runaway
Somewhere else, someplace good
We can't wait till 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
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 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?

At night I come home after they go to sleep
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt this hall
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls

We can't wait till tomorrow
No 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 alive
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 letting go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah, runaways
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah
