Runaways Lyrics

Johnny was a rebel child long before his time. In and out of homes and detention centres from the age of nine. But on his eighteenth birthday, he made himself a solemn oath. And he went and told his girlfriend Sally that he had a plan for them both. He said I've had enough of those good conversations, people talk and talk and talk. Girl we could waste a lifetime or we could take a walk. Let's runaway, runaway, runaway. And she said, Johnny don't you know that they'll never let me leave my home. So if you're gonna go, you're gonna have to make it on your own. He said, girl can't you see they got it planned so that we can never win. I ain't never been a loser babe, I ain't never giving in. You see I've had enough of these good conversations, people talk and talk and talk. Girl we could waste a lifetime or we could take a walk on the wildside. Let's runaway, runaway, runaway. Runaway, runaway, runaway.
