Runaway

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 mе leave my home
So if you'rе 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 wild side
Let's runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway
