Runaway Babe

[Verse]

Curly blonde hair

Big brown eyes

That shine like the stars

Her favorite game

Was making you laugh

And you could always see her heart

But then she grew up

[Chorus]

First time she ran away

Well, she got caught lyin'

She was back in ten minutes

Standin' at the front door cryin'

It's easier to stay

And get back up again

Than to run away, babe, run away

Runaway babe

[Verse]

Sixteen years old

Jumpin' on the bed

The first night that he called

He was charming and wonderful

Like a fairy tale movie

She new he had it all

But then he screwed up

[Chorus]

Next time she ran away

Well, she caught him lyin'

She couldn't ease the pain

Or keep herself from cryin'

Is it easier to stay

And get back up again

Than to run away, babe, run away?

Runaway babe

[Bridge]

Sometimes in life we get knocked down

The plans we make just don't work out

As I get older now I see

This happiness is up to me

Yeah!

[Chorus]

Next time I ran away

It was the last time I'm cryin'

I picked myself up

And never stopped tryin'

Cause it's easier to stay

And seize every day

Than to run away, babe, run away

I won't be a runaway babe, run away

Runaway babe

[Outro]

I'm not going to run away
