Lyrics Teenage Runaway - American Angel

Teenage Runaway

Pretty lady rolling down the road
She sang the blues but had the rock 'n' roll on
She picked me up fast but then she let me down slow
But I’m thinking I knew that all the long
Went to a bistro and I laid a couple back
And who do you think walked through the door
Slithered across the bar and I gazed into her eyes
I think she knew that I’d be back for more
Think of the romance
It’s a place you never ventured
You passed it by
Now the ballgame is over
And you never had a chance to try
Teenage runaway
Well, it’s such a shame
Always trying to give it away
When nobody’s paying
Well, give it up!
Back in school days even then you stole the show
Didn’t they eat it up when you were putting it out
Teased more than your hair and the boys all felt ashamed
Headed for the big time in the city of doubt, winning it out
Fourteen going on forty your face now shows the strain
Your vision of life painted a picture of hate
Innocent impressions are going down in vain
And as soon as I thought you’d quit you’re back for more
Think of the romance
It’s a place you never ventured
You passed it by
Now the ballgame is over
And you never had a chance to try
Give me a try
Teenage runaway
It’s a shame
Always trying to give it away
When nobody’s paying
Teenage runaway
It’s a shame
Always trying to give it away
When nobody’s
Well, give it up now
Teenage runaway
Well, it’s such a shame
You’re always trying to give it all away
When nobody’s paying
Teenage runaway
(Oh, you’re my teenage runaway)
It’s such a shame
You’re always trying to give it all away
When there ain’t nobody
Tell me about my teenage runaway
