Run Away
Meets her friends by the liquor store
Bon jovi is playing across town
Just a few hours and she will be back
She thinks its nothing wrong
Gets a guy to buy beers for them
Cause they we all underage
They get in his car for a ride
While the opening act performs on stage
She ask for a cigarette
And gives he gives her alight
Drinking the beers and laughing
In the middle of the night
She thinks of her little brother
Maybe he’s fast asleep in a dream
She knows she lied to him but
Tomorrow she will take him for ice cream
You said that you were just going out
To get a pack of cigarette
But you never did come back
Sister did you forget
And I waited all night for you
Lay in bed with my telephone
Wondering were you are
But you never comeback home
Have you forgotten your little brother?
A million times I dial your number
Have you forgotten me, my sister?
Is that why you never want to answer
Mama cries all the time
She don’t know why you run away
If you can see how she’s hurting
I know you would come back home today
Its two weeks since you been gone
Mama’s putting up your pictures on every wall
Everyday praying for a miracle
Hoping that some one will call
And she talks to daddy today
First time since the divorce
And he will be here tomorrow morning
He said we will find you at all cost
Then he looks out the window
And sees the police cars arrive
And his mother holds her head and cries
For they have found her alive
She was found by passer by
Unconscious in the drain
She wakes after two weeks in the hospital
They never r found her friends again
Runaways are innocent minds
And for a moment lack of judgment
Some are lucky to make back home
And for some it can be very detriment
