on the run Lyrics

We met each other after midnight

I saw you standing by the streetlight

With your hair undone

The night was old but we were young

You were no thrift-store beauty queen

Dark haired half Armenian Irish colleen

On the run

Something wild

Wild at heart

We hit the road to make a brand new start

Didn't know where we were heading

Shooting from a shotgun wedding

On the run

A tank of gas a case of cash

And we were gone

Hard top off and Elvis Presley on

We made the choice to get up and go

Find our own Private Idaho

On the run

Out of range

We exchanged

Northern rain for southern sun

Driving down the A11

True romance and days of heaven

On the run

Got to keep it moving

Got to get it done

Another trip, another hit and run

For 500 miles we made our

getaway

All that we had known before was

castaway

We hit the brakes

We hit the ground

We found the place we're gonna stick around

For too long....had to be

On the run

No longer... gonna be

On the run
