Rememberin' when we first met we had that adventure in our eyes
But somethin' got away I guess in the everyday of our lives
And I don't know what keeps us here let's disappear and start all over again

We can runaway baby come as you are
You can look at my heart as your getaway car
We can drive all night it'll be all right
Love can take us so far on my getaway car

All we need is the open road and more fuel for the fire inside us
Steer us on into lands unknown we can leave this world behind
And all I know is you and me that's all we'll need to start all over again

We can runaway baby come as you are...

Turn up the radio and don't look back again
Let me put the pedal down get us outta this town
Don't be afraid to ride
