Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
A blue eyed girl playing in the sand
I've been on her 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 till tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real
Baby, why 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 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 choose
Let's take a chance, baby we can't lose
Aint 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 these halls
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
Now 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
Aint 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
Aint we all just runaways
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Aint we all just runaways
Yeah, yeah, yeah
