Tonight

Every morning when you wake me up

To leave and say your goodbye's

I wanna run with my only one

And find a better place to hide

Your momma doesn't seem to approve

And your daddy never will

And if he knew about me and you

He would probably have me killed

So we sneak around

'Cause your not allowed to see me

And our little town that keeps us down

Makes it hard for this to breathe

So I'm asking you to follow through

With all the plans we made

The time has come, my little one

If we leave tonight

We'll chase a sunset through the sky

Bring these dreams to life

'Cause I need you more than I can describe

My hands are tied

Please just leave with me tonight

I've been saving every dime

Waiting for this very time

To cross that county line

Oh can't you see?

We're so many miles away

From where we should be

What we could be

I'm tired of the lying

We shouldn't have to worry

Every time I go to pick you up

I'm always Julie or Mary, whatever you call me

Now I'm not promising the world

Just a chance to rise above

I don't care where we end up

'Cause everything's better when we are together, my love

Finally

It's about to change

The open road has called our names

A happy ending

With a new beginning

So pack your bags and all your things

We'll be driving til the songbird sings
