Runaway — Damn Yankees
Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent
Summer night, moonlit sky Tearing pages from a magazine, she cries "I don't wanna be the lonely one tonight." She said, "I came to this place, full of dreams Young and innocent and only 16 Now I wonder why they call it Tparadise.'"
So she runs, and she hides, and she dries the tears from her eyes And the night goes on, and on, and on
She's in the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away
Perfect day, feels like Spring Can see forever but you can't see anything Now I wonder why they call it "paradise"
It's a crime, it's a shame And they won't remember your name And your life goes on, and on, and on
It's like the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away But she won't go home So she's gotta run, run, run away
She came from a small town So tired of getting pushed around In the dark of the night, no one around She'll run from this shabby town, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's a laugh, it's a game Don't you let it drive you insane TCause your life goes on, and on, and on....
It's like the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away But she won't go home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away
She's in the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away
