Charlie - Runaway lyrics

Thomas She's from Chicago, that's all I know, she's such a long way from home She's such a young girl, it's such a hard world, she took a chance on her own It's been so long, she forgets what it's like To be in her home for more than one night She's running real hard, she travels real light, she's a runaway She's barely sixteen, nothing she ain't seen, they threw her out when she was ten She learns the hard way, there's new things each day, she ain't going home again Although so young she's harder than steel She's learnt how to live, she's forgot how to feel She's bitter right now, she's had a rough deal, she's a runaway Hitching a ride on a winter's night ... standing by the road A sign on her back says L.A. ... the night is very cold She's running away to the sun She won't stop and think, she'll regret what she's done ... So tired of waiting, just suffocating, she's sure life's pa**ed her by It's such a big bore, she can't take no more, there's something else she must try She looks around at the things in her home She's wondering how she's gonna make out alone She slams the front door, she's out on her own, she's a runaway
