Lyrics

Out on the highway all alone
Gonna try and make it on your own
You're just a kid but you're getting old
Too many years out in the cold
Your daddy doesn't know your name
Your mother's taking all the blame
She drinks too much and she never holds
So you pack your bags and you hit the road
Now you're a runaway
But you're not so far away
From everything that you know
You're a runaway
You don't know the price you'll pay
Runaway and you're not even grown
Yeah, you're a runaway
You wish the law would come and say
Gonna take you home today
But you know the cops will never come
They won't even know you're on the run
So keep your face turned to the wind
Take every shot right on the chin
Just when you think you've had enough
The wind gets cold and it gets tough
Well you're a runaway
But you're not so far away
From everything that you know
Yeah, you're a runaway
You don't know the price you'll pay
Runaway and you're not even grown
Yeah, you're a runaway
Now you're a runaway
But you're not so far away
From everything that you know
Yeah, you're a runaway
You don't know the price you'll pay
Runaway from all those years
Runaway from all those tears
Runaway and you're not even grown
Yeah, you're a runaway
