Once I knew a love But it got away That was the day I knew I had to leave home I couldn’t let it get away Runaway love It went out the window Got out the fire escape Somehow it got away Went all around the world Runaway love I ran it down to London a go-go With drugs and models oh no-no But it got away to Tokyo So I stole away on a freight train that night But it ran away to join the rodeo In a small town of Tennessee alright Runaway love It went out the window Got out the fire escape Somehow it got away Went all around the world Runaway love Tennessee was a fluke now It went away to Toronto To dance all over the stage now But it pin-wheeled it’s way to Alaska To drive a dog sled But it got cold So Alabama it rolled To work in a Winn-Dixie store But it got chased out with a 2-by-4 Runaway love It went out the window Got out the fire escape Somehow it got away Went all around the world Runaway love I tried to ran it down But it never seemed to come around I knew once I got it back I’d never let it go But I had to go home Had to miss the rock show Couldn’t run it down no more I tried to ran it down But it never seemed to come around I knew once I got it back I’d never let it go But I had to go home Had to miss the rock show Couldn’t run it down no more Runaway love It went out the window Got out the fire escape Somehow it got away Went all around the world Runaway love I just had to let go I just had to know Why it left so long ago If you love it you gotta let it go If it’s real it’ll come back in time It’d come back to be mine Oh, our love ran away Why won’t it come back to stay? Runaway love It went out the window Got out the fire escape Somehow it got away Went all around the world Runaway love Once I looked outside And I realized it’d all be alright ‘Cause it was my love coming back to me I guess it was meant to be Runaway love It went out the window Got out the fire escape Somehow it got away Went all around the world Runaway love Runaway love La la la la la runaway love La la la la la runaway love La la la la la it came back to me La la la la la I guess it was made to be La la la la la runaway love |
