Buddy Kirwin - Why Don't We Run Away

Been seeing you around town always with your head down
Never seen you happy or with the slightest of grins on your face
Maybe if I greet you that'll all change
Oh girl I've been dreaming of you every night
Since I saw you on that dark and snowy 2nd of February day

Why don't we run away
From this shantytown and
All those rules that cause so much strain
Why don't we run away

Weeks have gone by and I still see you down at S & J
Still haven't seen you crack a smile
Oh my my what I'd do for you
Is the least I can say

Girl why don't we run away
From this whole world that's been dragging us down
Baby what'd you say?
I hope someday you'll wear my name
Why don't we run away

Baby it's getting late and it's now or never
My hearts on the floor and it's pounding with lust
Since we're supposed to be young and reckless
We oughta have us some fun

Why don't we run away
From all this madness that turns into never ending sadness
Girl why don't you come out and play?
Why don't we run away

Why don't we run away
Take a chance on me
Why don't we run away
I wanna marry you
Come take my hand
What'd you say?
