Boats on the water and fish in the sea[00:03:13]
And your head full of visions of new liberty[00:03:13]
A seat on the greyhound, a case in your hand[00:03:13]
Leaving your family, you don鈥檛 understand[00:03:13]
That life can be hard on a kid breakaway[00:03:13]
She鈥檚 got no one to talk to and so much to say[00:03:13]
Bats in the belfry, the size of her fears[00:03:13]
And the ad鈥檚 on the T.V. ain鈥檛 what they appear[00:03:13]
Your papa is reeling from whisky and hurt[00:03:13]
And mama is wishing she鈥檇 bought you that skirt[00:03:13]
You know there鈥檚 no Eldorado in sorrowful flight[00:03:13]
And no Disney posters to tell you goodnight[00:03:13]
So sing it ah, ah she鈥檚 the kid runaway[00:03:13]
The lord knows the reasons he鈥檇 please us to say[00:03:13]
So sing it ah, ah won鈥檛 you keep her from pain[00:03:13]
And we鈥檒l put all the pieces together again[00:03:13]
Her hair in a tangle her life in a mess[00:03:13]
And the freeway patrolman he don鈥檛 have to guess[00:03:13]
And so he buys her a coffee and calls on the phone[00:03:13]
We鈥檝e got somebody鈥檚 daughter but never your own[00:03:13]
You know there鈥檚 kid鈥檚 on the highway[00:03:13]
There鈥檚 kid鈥檚 on the run but they end in the alley[00:03:13]
When all鈥檚 said and done[00:03:13]
So sing it ah, ah she鈥檚 the kid runaway[00:03:13]
And the lord only knows why she did what she did[00:03:13]
So sing it ah, ah won鈥檛 you keep her from pain[00:03:13]
And we鈥檒l put all the pieces together again[00:03:13]
Ah, ah she鈥檚 the kid runaway[00:03:13]
The lord knows the reasons he鈥檇 please us to say[00:03:13]
So sing it ah, ah won鈥檛 you keep her from pain[00:03:13]
And we鈥檒l put all the pieces together again[00:03:13]
Ah, ah if you see her please say[00:03:13]
That her family is missing the kid runaway.[00:03:13]
