The memory of the runaway girl still lingers on and on
But I wasn't born to follow her you know that very well
But my day's are long and my mind is short since she turned her tail

But now she's gone, I'll have to cry and tell the world that she was mine
I remember when we started out which I will never forget
She was so young and natural unlike most of the girls
Then came along a man with stars, love stars in his eyes

But the man ran away with the girl behind that's the end of the runaway
Let's hope some day we'll revive the scene with no care in the world
The ballad of the runaway girl won't exist that very long
In the meantime all the tables are turned since she turned her tail

The ballad of the runaway girl lives on and on and on
The ballad of the runaway girl lives on and on and on
