Runaway Girl

She ran away from home, only seventeen
Didn't write or phone, no-where to be seen
She broke the ties that bind, searching everywhere
Worried out my mind, it's more than I can bear

Who you gonna run to
Who you gonna lean on
Who's gonna rescue you from harm
Who's gonna be there
To show you they care
Who will be waiting with open arms
Run-run-runaway girl

If there was something wrong, you only had to say
It ain't like you at all, to hurt us in this way
Are you all alone, are you safe and well
Please pick up the phone, I'm in a living hell

Who you gonna run to
Who you gonna lean on
Who's gonna rescue you from harm
Who's gonna be there
To show you they care
Who will be waiting with open arms
Run-run-runaway girl

Growing old is a mountain we all have to climb
I wish I'd devoted more time
Not withstanding, that life's demanding
And rushes by

Who you gonna run to
Who you gonna lean on
Who's gonna rescue you from harm
Who's gonna be there
To show you they care
Who will be waiting with open arms
Run-run-runaway girl

Who you gonna run to
Who you gonna lean on
Who's gonna rescue you from harm
Who's gonna be there
To show you they care
Who will be waiting with open arms
Run-run-runaway girl
