Elkie Brooks - The Runaway lyrics

She packed her things in a carpet bag She left home never looking back Taking care to cover up her tracks Stopping over 'till she made a wage Telling no-one she was under age A number on a missing persons page Rings on her finger, paint on her toes She shall have music wherever she goes On her transistor radio Runaway, runaway Runaway, runaway Runaway Darkness falls and finds her on her own The sparkling highway just keeps rolling on She's a thousand miles from home Dropping coins into a telephone All that answers is a ringing tone Sometimes it feels the whole world's not at home Rings on her finger, paint on her toes She shall have music wherever she goes On her transistor radio Runaway, runaway (Runaway) ?? an APB Nothing comes of being free (Runaway) She will wander where she pleases (Runaway) A steady job and a nice young man They thought they had the future planned (Runaway) But they'll never understand Runaway Runaway
