Runaway Lyrics - Damn Yankees

Everyone needs a place to runaway, runaway 

Summer night, moonlit sky 

Tearing pages from a magazine, she cries 

"I don't wanna be the lonely one tonight" 

She said, "I came to this place, full of dreams 

Young and innocent and only 16 

Now I wonder if it's too late to turn back" 

So she runs, and she hides 

And she dries the tears from her eyes 

And the night goes on, and on, and on 

She's in the twilight zone 

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway 

It's such a long way home 

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway 

Perfect day, feels like spring 

Can see forever but you can't see anything 

Now I wonder why they call it paradise 

It's a crime, it's a shame 

And they won't remember your name 

And your life goes on, and on, and on 

It's like the twilight zone 

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway 

But she won't go home 

So she's gotta run, run, runaway 

She came from a small town 

So tired of getting pushed around 

In the dark of the night, no one around 

She'll run from this shabby town, yeah yeah yeah 

It's a laugh, it's a game 

Don't you let it drive you insane 

'Cause your life goes on, and on, and on 

It's like the twilight zone 

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway 

But she won't go home 

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway 

She's in the twilight zone 

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway 

It's such a long way home 

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway 

It's like the twilight zone 

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway 

But she won't go home 

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway 

She's in the twilight zone 

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway 

It's such a long way home 

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway
