I'm digging through the glove box I thought I had a map in here The driver's door doesn't lock I bought the car my junior year There's candy in my backpack And you can pick our soundtrack We're heading for the East Coast tonight So pack your bags and hold on tight 'Cause we're taking off We're taking off Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Feet up on the dashboard We're driving with the windows down Did you forget your phone cord? We'll buy one in the next small town Get dinner at an IHOP A shower at a truck stop We'll listen to some Johnny Cash Take my hand and don't look back 'Cause we're moving on We're moving on Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Run away Run away Run away Run away Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me Stroll the midtown streets And tell me that you don't feel giddy Lady Liberty Ain't throwing us a wink or is she? Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Say hello to New York City Say hello to New York City

When everything is running like a freight train Honey and the gravel is kicking back And there is a red sun set and deeper red Saint peter Saint Paul let the engine stall So I can climb on board tonight Maybe find a new life under new York light And I think you would agree there aint no place no place at all just for me ... I think you would agree there aint no place no place at all just for me I'm a wondering soul got no place to call home Aint no one in this town but the upside down And ceiling all are fool and dirt footprints form suburban sprints And I think you would agree there aint no place no place at all just for me ... I think you would agree there aint no place no place at all just for me I'm a wondering soul got no place to call home I am out on my own So I am leaving, I am leaving, I am leaving town Tell my family goodbye tell them i will be fine They can come visit soon Electric light of the New York lights And I think you would agree there ain't no place no place at all just for me ... I think you would agree there aint no place no place at all just for me I'm a wondering soul got no place to call home I am out on my own I am just dust and bone

I could tie up the bed sheets and slide down the house Be gone before the morning comes I could dye my hair, I could change my name Leave it all behind, be free to run When I close my eyes I'm on the other side I'm like a hurricane along the track I see the landscape's wild from here inside my mind Beyond the walls which always hold me back It's just my imagination Running away Girl's gotta have a little daydream It's a secret escape It's just my imagination Running away Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay The noise of the city and the neon sky It'll fade with the volume down But then the quiet gets too close to me So won't you come and bring me around? Little slice of paradise in the back of my eyes I don't need it to be true 'Cause we all seek shelter from the darker days And I know you go there too Pinch me to wake me, runaway daydreamer It's just my imagination Running away Girl's gotta have a little daydream It's a secret escape It's just my imagination Running away Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay Runaway, runaway Runaway, runaway Runaway, runaway It's just my imagination Running away Girl's gotta have a little daydream It's a secret escape It's just my imagination Running away Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay

The morning paper Look in the mirror On your key-chain Or in the coffee spoon On your shirt sleeve In the flat-screen In your mailbox Breathing over you Come on baby, when will you see That you and I were meant to be? And now I got my target on track Baby you should know that I'm so good at that Run to where you want, run to where you want I am gonna find you There ain't no distance far enough My love's gonna find you Run to where you want, run to where you want But may I remind you There ain't no engine fast enough My love's gonna catch you In your top drawer In your cheque book On your cellphone By your easy-chair In the next room Behind the curtain Can't escape me I'm watching everywhere Come on baby, when will you see That you and I were meant to be And now I got my target on track Baby you should know that I'm so good at that Run to where you want, run to where you want I am gonna find you There ain't no distance far enough My love's gonna find you Run to where you want, run to where you want But may I remind you There ain't no engine fast enough My love's gonna catch you Why waste your energy? No point in fighting Let you heart surrender to your destiny And this world's not big enough For you to hide for long In this game of hide and seek There's nowhere left to run Run to where you want, run to where you want I am gonna find you There ain't no distance far enough My love's gonna find you Run to where you want, run to where you want But may I remind you There ain't no engine fast enough My love's gonna catch you Catch you, catch you, catch you Catch you, catch you, catch you Catch you, catch you

There's a look in your eye That says you want to be care free tonight Just like in days gone by When we were wild Darling I'm not so uptight And I can still put my mind on the flip side Cause I'm a soul resigned to a mundane line Why be so ordinary, why just conform?
