Stacey Earle - Weekend Runaways Lyrics

We packed up for the weekend

One change, t-shirts to sleep in

Anything you left behind

Exactly now what's on your mind

But anything you forgot really couldn't cost a lot

Everything now has its place

Even the tension on your face



All wound up now ready to go

We are winding down but it's coming slow

Sitting on the edge of our seats

Smooth pavement of the city streets

Disappear beneath the hood

And how about the weather, looks perty good

Perty good for an opening line

Why I didn't even have to use my mind



Prepared with dedication

Beware is our destination

We are free, we are wild

For we are our only child

Acting out from our hearts

Backing out not from the start

Seeking out the good old days

We are weekend runaways



Heading down the interstate

We're achieving the great escape

Of the same ol' me the same ol' you

Same ol' same ol' nothing new



Why shame on me, shame on you

Why shame on anything we may do

But we won't blame me

No, we won't blame you

We will blame it on the man in the moon



Prepared with dedication

Beware is our destination

We are free, we are wild

Why, we are our only child



Acting out from our hearts

Backing out not from the start

Just seeking out the good old days

We are weekend runaways



We laughed until we cried

We stayed up half the night

Told all there was to know

Leaving nowhere else to go



We said little all the way home

I guess we just need a little time alone

It's the art of women that can close her mind

The heart of of a women that finds the time



To put every thing right back in its place

Always leaving an open space

Just making room for a little bit more

When I get home, I gotta run to the store, yeah



Prepared with dedication

Beware was our destination

We were free, we were wild

We were our only child

Acting out from our hearts

Backing out not from the start

Just seeking out the good old days

We were weekend runaways
