Don’t you wish we could run away baby
Find ourselves a little space
Just you and me and a sunny day, hey, hey
In some secret hiding place

Spread a blanket by the riverside
Lay back and dream
Throw our clothes in a big pile
Wash each other down in a cool stream

Don’t you wish we could run away baby
We don’t have to go too far
We don’t need any air tickets darlin’
Let’s just hop inside my car

Check into a no tell motel
Have them hold our calls
Get as crazy as we can in an hour
Shake the pictures off of those thin walls

Oh, now I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining
Oh, I’m just looking for some blue skies
It’s been raining so long

Oh, now I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining
Oh, I’m just looking for some blue skies
It’s been raining

Don’t you wish we could run away baby
Find ourselves a little space
Just you and me and a sunny day, hey, hey
In some secret hiding place

Don’t you wish we could run away
Don’t you wish we could run away
Don’t you wish we could run away baby
Don’t you wish we could run away
Run away, run away, hey, hey, hey
