Lyrics Runaway - Rockwell

Runaway

She’s so serious
She’s looking for a better way
Her Midwest town has got her down
She’s leaving home today
She’s so curious
To find out what she’s missed
Small town girl in a big time world
Soon she’ll get her wish
She’s a runaway
Out there on her own
She’s a runaway
Headin' for the danger zone
She’s delirious
It’s like a movie on the silver screen
Fancy cars and movie stars
In 20-foot limousines
Here comes the man without a shadow
She’ll never tell him that she’s just 16
To him, it really doesn’t matter
They’re never as young as they seem
She’s a runaway
Out there on her own
She’s a young stray
Livin' in the danger zone
It didn’t take her long to figure out
All of his promises were lies
His only purpose was to use her up
She couldn’t get away if she tried
She’s a runaway
Out there on her own
She’s a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
She’s a runaway
Out there on her own
She’s a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
She gave her innocence
For what she thought was love
But what she got was much too hot
He’s strung her out on drugs
She’s got nowhere to turn
The dream becomes a nightmare
All alone, starts to think of home
Wishing she was there
She’s a runaway
Out there on her own
She’s a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
She’s a runaway
Out there on her own
She’s a young stray
Livin' in the danger zone
She’s a runaway
Out there on her own
She’s a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
She’s a runaway
Out there on her own
She’s a young stray
