Living Like a Runaway

I was running crazy, I was running wild
Living on the edge, yeah, I was living in style
My hands start shaking like the streets of Hollywood
My mind was wasted, I still did the best I could

One day, I left town with just the shirt on my back
And a guitar on my shoulder, yeah, I wasn't coming back
I had to break the spell my heart was under
So I rolled out of town on wheels of thunder

And I will never forget what my mama said
She said

Run, baby, run 'cross New York City
Run, baby, run through the streets of L.A.
Run, baby, run, yeah, you can't slow down
And you can never stay when you're living like a runaway

I remember when I was seventeen
Riding in the back of a black limousine
I used to stare at the stars and ask for God to please guide me
In the right direction
I didn't know where I was going
I didn't know where I was gonna stay
All I knew was that I was going far, far away

And it still feels like yesterday when he says

Run, baby, run 'cross New York City
Run, baby, run through the streets of L.A.
Run, baby, run, yeah, you can't slow down
And you can never stay when you're living like a runaway

Yeah

I left each town with a wink and a kiss
That maybe I'd be back real soon
A lot of memories from fans like you
People that made my dreams come true

And I can still hear them saying

Run, baby, run 'cross New York City
Run, baby, run through the streets of L.A.
Run, baby, run, yeah, you can't slow down
And you can never stay when you're living like a runaway

Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
When you're living like a runaway
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
When you're living like a runaway
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Living like a runaway
Run, baby, run
