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 mother 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 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 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)
