Runaway

I see it all from a center stage

I learned how to read a room

I see it all before it happens

He walks in with her but she’s walking out with him

She leaves a dangerous first impression

Try the Continental Bar

Check the dives on South Lamar

For the Runaway. For the runaway

You can try but you will fail

She’s the hammer and you’re the nail

She’s a Runaway. She’s a Runaway

She’s a Runaway

I used to play the game but I got old and wise

I know how to stay out of trouble

Up here on the microphone

I see it all go down

He buys her a drink she wants a double

Try the Continental Bar

Check the dives on South Lamar

For the Runaway. For the runaway

You can try but you will fail

She’s the hammer and you’re the nail

She’s a Runaway. She’s a Runaway

She’s a Runaway

I see the Barman check his watch

I call the last few tunes

And play as if my life was on the line because it is

I need to write a book

Put it down in black and white

I’ll be a number one best seller

You’d learn a thing or two about heartbreak

Tears and time

But if you got something to tell her

Try the Continental Bar

Check the dives on South Lamar

For the Runaway. For the runaway

You can try but you will fail

She’s the hammer and you’re the nail

She’s a Runaway. She’s a Runaway

She’s a Runaway
