Liam Byrne - Runaway (Acoustic) Lyrics

She packed her stuff in a hurry
Without a single thought to who would be worried
She just had to get away
Quietly closed the door right behind her
Had to make sure that no one would find her
She was leaving town today

Hitch hiked her way down the road
Saw her shivering, freezing in the cold
3am, all alone

Pulled over nice and slow and
Asked her where she as goin
"I don't know, just far away from here"

She's my little runaway
She's my little runaway
Actin like someone had chased her
I felt like I had to save her
She's my little runaway

She had a dream, she told me
Hit me like a truck, she sold me
She was gonna make it in LA
Wanted to be a famous actor
Wasn't gonna let anything distract her
And no one was gonna make her throw it away

So we hit the road to California
My head started preachin paranoia
But I still put the pedal to the metal and drove

She's my little runaway
She's my little runaway
Actin like someone had chased her
I felt like I had to save her
She's my little runaway

Then one night, at dinner
She turned into the sinner
Said she left her wallet in the car
About 20 minutes later
I paid her bill to the waiter
'Cause she drove away real far

She's my little runaway
She's my little runaway
Actin like someone had chased her
I felt like I had to save her
She's my little runaway
