You brought to yearn runaway, so I ran away
Brought up not knowing what to say so
And every Friday night we'd drive through the darkness to the city
Bruce Springsteen blaring from the car stereo
As you chase the lights 101 miles and hour
Me, and my brother slept in the back seat
And when we awoke, my mother was there
And when we awoke, we could see how much you cared
Then we learned to runaway, runaway
And that we always had something to say
And every Sunday we'd drive through the morning to the city
The one that me and my friends all call our home now
And as you'd pierce through the sunshine
You'd tell me of all the records that you were gonna buy
And as you rambled along I'd look on from the back seat
Oh we could live in some moments forever
And when we awoke, our father was gone
But we know in so many ways that he lives on
