Runaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Came to the city just a country girl
Thinking how fast can you change the world
But to your surprise
It all takes time
Flashing lights like you're a movie star
It's just the glare coming off the bar
It's not what you thought
Not the ticket you bought
This lonesome road can make you
It'll grab a hold and take you
You can't do much 'bout what they think
They'll be movin' on before you can blink
Now it's alright
It's okay
Eveything's moving away too fast
You're just a runaway
And it's alright
It's okay
You're trying to make it on your own
You're just a runaway
Came to the city just a simple kid
Made you a woman look at what they did
Ripped out another page
Left it on the stage
All you can breathe is the cloudy air
Root for the smoke and the twisted stairs
You can make it back
Just across the tracks
The cold hard streets can make you
The sleepless nights might take you
You can lose yourself before you wake
It won't be long before you break
(Yeah)
It's alright
It's okay
Everything's movin' away too fast
You're just a runaway
And it's alright
It's okay
You'll try to make it on your own
You're just a runaway
You're just a runaway
(Yeah)(oh now)
It's alright
It's okay
Everything's movin' away too fast
And it's alright
It's okay
You'll try to make it on your own
You're just a runaway
So all alone
And now you're tryin' to make it on your own
You're just a runaway
You're just a runaway
