She's so serious She's looking for a better way Her Midwest town has got her down She's leaving home today She's so curious To find out what she's missed Small town girl in a big time world Soon she'll get her wish
She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a runaway Headin' for the danger zone

She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a young stray Livin' in the danger zone

She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a runaway Livin' in the danger zone She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a young stray Livin' in the danger zone
She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a runaway Livin' in the danger zone She's a runaway Out there on her own She's a young stray
