She was a small-town girl with dreams like runaway trains,
He was a drifter, living life without chains
One night their paths crossed at the Crossroads Bar,
A love born in shadows, they'd never get far

They hit the highway, with the moon lighting their track,
A brown suitcase full, neither willing to look back
Her daddy warned her about boys like him,
But love dug its roots, growing wild from within

Runaway hearts, down the old back roads,
Living on the edge, where nobody goes
In the rearview mirror, the past fades away,
Together they'll find, their own brighter day

Every town's a stop, each sunset a start,
Between stolen glances and the trails in his heart
Money's short but love's in full bloom,
Laughing under stars, slow dancing to the tune

Sheriff's on their tail, but they don't seem to care,
She leans on his shoulder, wind in her hair
Whispers ’bout the future with nothing but dreams,
In this wild escape, they're tearing at the seams

Runaway hearts, down the old back roads,
Living on the edge, where nobody goes
In the rearview mirror, the past fades away,
Together they'll find, their own brighter day
