[Verse 1]

I'm digging through the glove box

I thought I had a map in here

The driver's door doesn't lock

I bought the car my junior year

There's candy in my backpack

And you can pick our soundtrack

We're heading for the East Coast tonight

So pack your bags and hold on tight

Cause we're taking off

We're taking off



We're taking off



[Chorus]

Run away with me

We're on the way to New York City

Take my hand and see

Manhattan never looked so pretty

Travel light and see the world right

You'll never know if you never go so

Run away with me

And say hello to New York City



[Verse 2]

Feet up on the dashboard

We're driving with the windows down

Did you forget your phone cord?

We'll buy one in the next small town

Get dinner at an IHOP

A shower at a truck stop

We'll listen to some Johnny Cash

Take my hand and don't look back

Cause we're moving on



We're moving on



[Chorus]

Run away with me

We're on the way to New York City

Take my hand and see

Manhattan never looked so pretty

Travel light and see the world right

You'll never know if you never go so

Run away with me

And say hello to New York City



Run away

Run away

Run away

Run away



[Chorus]

Run away with me

We're on the way to New York City

Take my hand and see

Manhattan never looked so pretty

Travel light and see the world right

You'll never know if you never go so

Run away with me...



[Outro]

Stroll the downtown streets

And tell me that you don't feel giddy

Lady Liberty

Ain't throwing us a wink or is she?

Travel light and see the world right

You'll never know if you never go so

Run away with me

And say hello to New York City

Say hello to New York City

Say hello to New York City
