Runaway

Once I knew a love
But it got away
That was the day
I knew I had to leave home
I couldn’t let it get away

Runaway love
It went out the window
Got out the fire escape
Somehow it got away
Went all around the world
Runaway love

I ran it down to London a go-go
With drugs and models oh no-no
But it got away to Tokyo
So I stole away on a freight train that night
But it ran away to join the rodeo
In a small town of Tennessee alright

Runaway love
It went out the window
Got out the fire escape
Somehow it got away
Went all around the world
Runaway love

Tennessee was a fluke now
It went away to Toronto
To dance all over the stage now
But it pin-wheeled it’s way to Alaska
To drive a dog sled
But it got cold
So Alabama it rolled
To work in a Winn-Dixie store
But it got chased out with a 2-by-4

Runaway love
It went out the window
Got out the fire escape
Somehow it got away
Went all around the world
Runaway love

I tried to ran it down
But it never seemed to come around
I knew once I got it back
I’d never let it go
But I had to go home
Had to miss the rock show
Couldn’t run it down no more
I tried to ran it down
But it never seemed to come around
I knew once I got it back
I’d never let it go
But I had to go home
Had to miss the rock show
Couldn’t run it down no more

Runaway love
It went out the window
Got out the fire escape
Somehow it got away
Went all around the world
Runaway love

I just had to let go
I just had to know
Why it left so long ago
If you love it you gotta let it go
If it’s real it’ll come back in time
It’d come back to be mine
Oh, our love ran away
Why won’t it come back to stay?

Runaway love
It went out the window
Got out the fire escape
Somehow it got away
Went all around the world
Runaway love

Once I looked outside
And I realized it’d all be alright
‘Cause it was my love coming back to me
I guess it was meant to be

Runaway love
It went out the window
Got out the fire escape
Somehow it got away
Went all around the world
Runaway love

Runaway love
La la la la la runaway love
La la la la la runaway love
La la la la la it came back to me
La la la la la I guess it was made to be
La la la la la runaway love
