about

A fun and somewhat country song. My Alabama roots definitely came out in this one!

It's important to realize that situations may not always be the way that they seem. I hope you enjoy the story as it takes you on a journey with two young lovers as they venture into a new life.

lyrics

Intro: E G6 A
E
May I have this dance, may I have the night
Her daddy told me better have her home by 9
G6 A E
So we shook hands, locked eyes, and made a compromise

E
I grabbed her hand and she grabbed mine
And we started walking ‘to the promise of the night
G6 A E
Then her daddy realized, that I lied

B
So I looked at her and said, “Are you ready for what’s ahead?”

E
To the streets we go, leave it all behind
Don’t worry ‘bout the money or the car we drive
G6 A E
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride
E
To the streets we go, I got a lot to say
Don’t worry ‘bout nobody it’s just you and me
G6 A E
If the wheels keep turning they’ll call us The Runaways
(Intro chords)
The Runaways X2

Five days in and we had it made
People kept calling us The Runaways
But what they don’t see I see are the marks your daddy gave

I heard a knock three times on our motel door
Daddy came looking more mad than before
And with one glance I knew that my right hand would be very sore

So I looked at him and said, “Are you ready for what’s ahead?”
E
To the streets we go, there’s nowhere left to hide
G6
Tomorrow you’ll be wearing black and white stripes
Aadd9 E
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride
E
To the streets you go, there’s nothing up ahead
G6
Don’t worry ‘bout your daughter ‘cause we’ll be wed
Aadd9 E
I’ll be the man she never knew as we drive into the sunset

So I looked at her and said, “Are you ready for what’s ahead?”

(2nd Chorus Chords)
To the streets we go, leave it all behind
Don’t worry ‘bout the money or the car we drive
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride
To the streets we go, I got a lot to say
Don’t worry ‘bout nobody it’s just you and me
If the wheels keep turning they’ll call us The Runaways
The Runaways X2
