When I was young I fell in love
We used to hold hands man that was enough
Yeah then we grew up stayed in touch
Used to talk underneath the light in the back the bus
Oh no your daddy didn't like me much
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
Oh every day she found a way
To stay on the phone to talk real late
She used to meet me on the eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Through the backstreets in a 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
Yeah we can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then 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 starting today
Start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby run away with me seventeen
And you have a dream to have a family
A house and everything in between
And then suddenly you turned twenty three
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
We got our dead end jobs and got
Bills to pay
Have old friends and now our enemies and now I
I'm thinking back to when I was young
Back to the day when I was falling in love
He used to meet me on the eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Through the backstreets in a blue corvette
Baby you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want drive down to the coast
Jump in the seat
Just take my hand and come with me singing
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then 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 starting today
Start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby run away with me
Run away now run away now
Run away now
Run away now run away now run away now
He used to meet me on the eastside
She used to meet me on the eastside
He used to meet me on the eastside
She used to meet me on the eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
