The Dirty Heads - Living Like A Runaway lyrics

rate me

I was running crazy, I was running wild

Living on the edge, yeah I was living in the skies

My hands starts shaking like the streets of Hollywood

My mind was waisted, I still did the best I could.

One day I left town with just one shirt on my back,

And a guitar on my shoulder, yeah I wasn't coming back.

I had to break the spell that my heart was under

So, I rolled out of town on wheels of thunder

And I will never forget

What my mother said, she said:

Run and run, cross New York City

Run and run to the streets of L.A.

Run and run, yeah you can't slow down,

you can never stay when you're living like a runaway.

I remember when I was seventeen

Riding in the back of a black limusine.

Are you still staring at the stars

Ask for God to please guide me

In the right direction.

I didn't know where I was going

I didn't know where I was gonna stay

All I knew is that I was going

Far far away.

And it still feels like yesterday,

When he said:

Run and run, cross New York City

Run and run to the streets of L.A.

Run and run, yeah you can't slow down,

And you can never stay when you're living like a runaway.

Yeah!

Left each town with a wink and a kiss

But maybe I'll be back real soon,

A lot of memories from fans like you

People that made my dreams come true.

And I can still hear them sayin' :

Run and run, cross New York City

Run and run to the streets of L.A.

Run and run, yeah you can't slow down,

And you can never stay when you're living like a runaway.

Run and run, run and run,

Run and run, run and run.

When you're living like a runaway.

Run and run, run and run,

Run and run, run and run.

When you're living like a runaway.

Run and run, run and run,

Run and run, run and run.
