"Honey, can you hear me?"
Whispered the pilot to the gunner
It didn't matter we were one and the same
With the sh**ty conditions we were under
There's blood in the back seat
No sign where it's coming
"Just come away with me."
She's the only thing I've been running from
I never turned it over
When I got there she was running
A drunken night found her in my eyes
And we danced until the morning light was coming in
I know I spoke clearly
Even though we were both drunken
"Come away with me tonight, we'll be wild American runners."
Because if you needed time to think
Well I though that you would think to ask
Yeah, there's ways around these trials ahead
Because we all lost everything that we had
Now there ain't one thing left to hold anyone back
Can't hold me back
Hear it in the distance
Steady, rolling in like thunder
A clap of hands, a shot in the back
In the steady dark of drunken summers
I knew we were ruined, below the moon that we stood under
But we'll get this one thing right
We'll be wild American runners
So if you needed time to think
Well I though that you would think to ask
Yeah, there's ways around these times ahead
Because we all lost everything that we had
Now there ain't one thing left to hold anyone back
Can't hold me back
But I've been placing all my sh**ty bets on her faded blue dress
With nothing to keep her by my side
We'll grow old and we'll all fade out like the radio
But we're young and we're wild so let's run away tonight
Run away tonight
