Runaway Weekend
[Verse 1]
Packed one bag, left the ashtray
Kissed goodbye in the driveway
You said, “Where you headed?”
I said, “Don’t ask, just drive”
Map folded in the glove box
Half a tank and a red scarf
We chased the county line
Like we were trying to stay alive
[Pre-Chorus]
And the phone kept blowing up
But I let it ring
Let the old world talk
I’m not hearing a thing
You laughed like trouble
And I knew right then
We were already gone
Before we left again
[Chorus]
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
Take me where the wrong turns lean in
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
We don’t go home till the wheels give in
One more mile, one more lie
Hold my hand while the fences fly
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
Runaway weekend tonight
[Verse 2]
Pulled off by the river bend
Mud on your boots, cold hands
You drew my name in the dust
Then the rain washed it clean
Cheap snacks on the dashboard
Laughing through the long road
You said, “If we get caught now
We’ll just blame it on the dream”
[Pre-Chorus]
And the moon kept following
Like it knew our names
We were two bright sparks
In a field of flames
You tipped your head back
Said, “Let’s never end”
So I stomped the gas harder
And started again
[Chorus]
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
Take me where the wrong turns lean in
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
We don’t go home till the wheels give in
One more mile, one more lie
Hold my hand while the fences fly
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
Runaway weekend tonight
[Bridge]
If Monday finds us, let it wait
Let the whole damn world reschedule fate
I don’t need perfect
I need your wild right now
Your grin in the mirror
Your boots on the ground
[Final Chorus]
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
Take me where the wrong turns lean in
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
We don’t go home till the wheels give in
One more mile, one more lie
Hold my hand while the fences fly
Runaway weekend (runaway weekend)
Runaway weekend tonight
[Outro]
Runaway weekend
(runaway weekend)
Runaway weekend
Tonight
