Johny was a rebel child long before his time
In and out of homes and detention centers from the age of nine
On his eightienth birthday, he made himself a solemn oath
And he went and told his girlfriend Sally
That he had a plan for them both
He said, I´ve had enough of all these good conversations
People talk and talk and talk
Girl we can´t wait a lifetime
or we can take a walk
So let´s runaway
She said Johny don´t you know
That they´ll never let me leave my home
So if you gotta go, you´re gonna have to make it on your own
And he said, girl can´t you see they´ve got it planned So that we can never win
I ain´t never been a loser baby, and I ain´t never givin´ in
You see, I´ve had enough of all these good conversations
People talk and talk and talk
Girl we can wast a lifetime
or we can take a walk on the wildside
Let´s runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway
In and out of homes and detention centers from the age of nine
On his eightienth birthday, he made himself a solemn oath
And he went and told his girlfriend Sally
That he had a plan for them both
He said, I´ve had enough of all these good conversations
People talk and talk and talk
Girl we can´t wait a lifetime
or we can take a walk
So let´s runaway

Runaway, runaway, runaway
