Rockwell - Runaway
RUNAWAY
Curtis Anthony Nolen, Rockwell, Norman Dozier
She's so serious
She's looking for a better way
Her midwest town
Has got her down
She's leaving home today
She's so curious
To find out what she's missed
Small town girl
In a big time world
Soon she'll get her wish
Chorus
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a runaway
Headin' for the danger zone
She's delirious
It's like a movie on the silver screen
Fancy cars
Movie stars
In twenty foot limousines
Bridge
Here comes the man without a shadow
She'll never tell him that she's just sixteen
To him it really doesn't matter
They're never as young as they seem
Chorus
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
Bridge
It didn't take her long to figure out
All of his promises are lies
His only purpose is to use her up
She couldn't get away if she tried
Repeat Last Chorus Twice
She gave her innocence
For what she thought was love
But what she got
Was much too hot
He's strung her out on drugs
She's got nowhere to turn
The dream becomes a nightmare
All alone starts to think of home
Wishing she was there
Repeat Last Chorus
