When I was young, I fell in love with you, so old hands man, that was enough
Then we grew up, started to touch, used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the
bus
Oh my, your daddy didn't like me much, and he didn't believe me when I said you were
the one
Oh every day, she'd find a way out of the window to sneak out late
She used to meet me on the east side, in the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we'd ride through the back streets in my blue Corvette
Baby you know I just wanna leave tonight, we can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the sea, just take my hand and come with me
We can do anything if we put our minds to it, take your old life and you put a line
through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it, give me your heart cause I ain't gonna
break it
So come away, we started today, starting a life together in a different place
We know that love is how these ideas came to be, so baby run away with me
Seventeen, and we got a dream to have a family house and everything in between
And then suddenly, we turned twenty -three, now we got pressure for taking our love more
seriously
We got our dead -end jobs and got bills to pay, half our friends and all our enemies
Now I'm thinking back to when I was young, back to the day when I was falling in love
She used to meet me on the east side, in the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we'd ride through the back streets in my blue Corvette
And baby you know I just wanna leave tonight, we can go anywhere we want, drive down to
the coast, jump in the sea, just take my hand and come with me, sing it
We can do anything if we put our minds to it, take your old life and you put a line
through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it, give me your heart cause I ain't gonna
break it
So come away, we started today, starting a life together in a different place
And I don't have a soul and it's not the best can it be, so baby run now, will you
with me?
Run away now, run away now, run away now
She used to meet me on the east side
She used to meet me on the east side
He used to meet me on the east side
She used to meet me on the east side
In the city where the sun don't set
