[Verse 1]
Throw a duffel in the back
Tank half full, hearts off track
Your mama say I’m trouble, she might be right
But you still climbed in my ride tonight
Dust on my boots, you in cut-off jeans
Last paycheck and a half-broke dream
You said “I’m so tired of this same old view”
I said “Say the word, I’ll move” (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Dashboard glow on your blue eyes
County line coming up, tail lights behind
You said “Where we going?” I just laughed, it’s true
Anywhere that ain’t here with you
[Chorus]
I just wanna run away with you
Past the fields and the bad tattoos
Past every small-town rumor they threw
Let the white lines blur, let ’em lose our truth
Baby, I just wanna run away with you
Run away with you
Run away, run away
Run away with you
[Verse 2]
Half-talk, half-rap to the broken radio
You’re drumming on the dash like a one-girl show
We’re planning out a life on a credit card
Cheap motel throne, calling that the start
You say “What if we fail?” with a nervous grin
I say “We ain’t failed if we never give in”
Yeah, the future’s just a map that we get to draw
Two wild hearts and a midnight call (hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
Motel sign buzzing in red and gold
You’re dancing in the parking lot, brave and bold
You whisper “Promise me you’ll see this through”
I kiss your hand and I swear it’s true
[Chorus]
I just wanna run away with you
Past the fields and the bad tattoos
Past every small-town rumor they threw
Let the white lines blur, let ’em lose our truth
Baby, I just wanna run away with you
Run away with you
Run away, run away
Run away with you
[Bridge]
[Beat drops back to acoustic and vocal]
If we end up broke on some west coast floor
Writing our names on a thrift store door
I’ll still thank God that I chose that night
When you climbed in and we chose this life (oh)
[Chorus]
I just wanna run away with you
Past the fields and the bad tattoos
Past every small-town rumor they threw
Let the white lines blur, let ’em lose our truth
Baby, I just wanna run away with you
Run away with you
Run away, run away
Run away with you
