When I was young,
we fell in love We used to hold hands,
man,
that was enough
Then we grew up,
started to touch Used to kiss underneath the line in the back
of the bus Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
You know every day,
she'd find a way out the window to sneak out late
He used to meet me on the east side
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
through the back streets of a blue Corvette
And baby you know I just wanna leave
tonight We can go anywhere we want,
drive down to
the coast Jump in the seat, just say my name
And come with me,
singing We can do anything if we put our minds to
it Take your whole life, then you put a line
through it My love is yours if you're willing to take
it Give me your heart, cause I ain't gonna break
it So come away,
start it today
Start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
Seventeen,
we had a dream to have a family A house
and everything in between And then oh,
suddenly,
we turned twenty-three And we got precious
for taking our life more seriously
We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay Half our
friends and our enemies And now I'm thinking back to when
I was young Back to the days when I was falling in love
He used to meet me on the east side In the city
where the sun don't set And every day you know that
we ride through the back streets of a blue Corvette
And baby you know I just wanna leave
tonight We can go anywhere we want,
drive down to the coast Jump in the seat,
just say my name And come with me,
singing
We can do anything if we put our minds to it Take your whole life,
then you put a line through it My love is yours
if you're willing to take it Give me your heart,
cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away,
start it today Start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be So baby,
run away with me
Run away now,
run away now Run away now,
run away now
We can do anything if we put our minds to it Take your whole life,
then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it Give me your heart,
cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away,
start it today Start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be So baby,
run
away with me
