She's looking for a better way
Her Midwest town has got her down
She's leaving home today
She's so curious
To find out what she's missed
Small town girl in a big time world
Soon she'll get her wish
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a runaway
Headin' for the danger zone
She's delirious
It's like a movie on the silver screen
Fancy cars and movie stars
In 20-foot limousines
Here comes the man without a shadow
She'll never tell him that she's just 16
To him, it really doesn't matter
They're never as young as they seem
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a young stray
Livin' in the danger zone
It didn't take her long to figure out
All of his promises were lies
His only purpose was to use her up
She couldn't get away if she tried
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
She gave her innocence
For what she thought was love
But what she got was much too hot
He's strung her out on drugs
She's got nowhere to turn
The dream becomes a nightmare
All alone, starts to think of home
Wishing she was there
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a young stray
Livin' in the danger zone
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a runaway
Livin' in the danger zone
She's a runaway
Out there on her own
She's a young stray
She's so serious She's looking for a better way Her Midwest town has got her down She's leaving home today She's so curious To find out what she's missed Small town girl in a big time world Soon she'll get her wish She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a runaway Headin' for the danger zone She's delirious It's like a movie on the silver screen Fancy cars and movie stars In 20-foot limousines Here comes the man without a shadow She'll never tell him that she's just 16 To him, it really doesn't matter They're never as young as they seem She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a young stray Livin' in the danger zone It didn't take her long to figure out All of his promises were lies His only purpose was to use her up She couldn't get away if she tried She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a runaway Livin' in the danger zone She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a runaway Livin' in the danger zone She gave her innocence For what she thought was love But what she got was much too hot He's strung her out on drugs She's got nowhere to turn The dream becomes a nightmare All alone, starts to think of home Wishing she was there She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a runaway Livin' in the danger zone She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a young stray Livin' in the danger zone She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a runaway Livin' in the danger zone She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a young stray Explain Request ×
