Weekend Runaways Songtext
von Stacey Earle

We packed up for a weekend
One change, t-shirts to sleep in
Anything we left behind
Exactly now what′s on your mind
Anything you forgot
Really couldn't cost a lot
Everything now had its place
Even the tension on your face
All wound up now, ready to go
And we′re winding down but it's coming slow

Sitting on the edge of our seats
Smooth pavement of city streets
Disappear beneath the hood
And how 'bout the weather looks pretty good
Why pretty good for an opening line
I didn′t even have to use my mind


Prepare with dedication
Beware is our destination
We are free and we are wild
While we are our only child
Acting out from our hearts
Not 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 old me, same old you
Same old same, no nothing new
Why shame on me, shame on you
Shame on anything we may do
But we won't blame me, no we won′t blame you
We will blame it on a man and a moon

Prepare with dedication
Beware is our destination
We are free and we are wild
While we are our only child
Acting out from our hearts
Not backing out, not from the start
Just seeking out the good old days
We are weekend runaways


We laughed until we cried
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 an art if a woman can close her mind
The heart of the woman that finds the time
Putting everything back in its place
Only leaving an open space
Just making room for a little bit more
When I get home I gotta run to the store

Prepare with dedication
Beware is our destination
We were free and we were wild
While we were our only child
And acting out from our hearts
Not backing out, not from the start
Just seeking out the good old days
We are weekend runaways
