Runaway Lyrics
Artist: Del Shannon
Album: Runaway
As I walk along,
I wonder what went wrong,
With our love, a love that was so strong.
And as I still walk on,
I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young.
I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.

Like a lot of great 60s songs this song is just full of an eternal youthful energy.Excellent.
I can't visit Johny Rockets w/o playing this song on their juke box atleast 5 times! :D
My father used to sing this song to me when I was younger. It's a cherished memory, and to always have that moment with me, I tattoo'd "Runaway" on my foot.
nice! ni ni ni ce ce ce
Our band, THE MOJO BROS. loves to play this old 50s and 60s music.
Runaway has got to be a classic with that great descending Am G F E7 musical drama going on.
All fellow musicians with a 50s 60s Jones....contact me....MOE at
besinger@mac.com.....to compare musical notes and stories on the road with the greats...
We play about 1000 songs from our head...me on piano singing with conga player who does call back (was Steve Miller's drummer) ....love sam and dave, blues bros, all of motown, Jerry Lee Lewis,Muddy Waters....as a matter of trivia, I was with Question Mark and the Mysterians back in 1976 in Saginaw, Michigan, hometown of Bob Seger.
I'm happily here in California now.

I've always really liked the Traveling Wilburys version. Good song.

dear cath wake up to a great r.n.r song.
I love this going and I'm only young, I was born in the wrong decade!!!
When my friends are listening to Gaga, I'm listening to the classics,
And to Cathy that's your opinion but it one of classics.
The reason why I like it is it how I feel now, you see I was in head over heals abut we broke up..
And I wonder and still feel the pain, and I wonder what went wong after 6 years, he was my 1st love.
So when I hear this song, I have a tear. But life goes on
Great song
LOVE the 60's, 70's
some 50's
some 90's (my era)
Thanks for all the great comments about my song.
i love this song
I love this song. It brings back so many great memories. Thanks Del for the memories.
I love this song. And kids love this song.
I love this song, I used to watch crime story in the 80s, this was the theme. I have found it to watch again and for days this song is stuck in my head...
Ja! Es ist fein!
The original Runaway is an amazing recording and made music history. It has the first use of a synthisizer in record history, a home made one built by keyboardist, Max Crook. Del Shannon's falsetto vocals soared and Max's keyboard riff is one of the most memorable on record.
A great song. I love singing it!
=D
sis loved this song and singer the start of my love of music.
Best song ever made!
I never get tired of it. Too bad Del had to leave this world the way he did. If only he realized how many hearts he touched with this song. He deserved better.
good
reminds me of my mom. she ran away from home when she was a young teenager and decided to go back home after she heard this song>>>
Love this Song!
The epitome of Rock N Roll. It really doesn't get any better than this.
Q. Why why why she ran away...
A. I was an ass thst is why.
Love this song as mucj as I love Crime Story. The tv show thst intro this song to me.
Why song writers don't do song like this anymore?
Great song!!
this song is awaesome
freakin awesome love this fuckin song
This was the best records´in year 61,and oh course I love it
Downloaded Radiorage to listen to song. Never got to. The icon only redirects to the download page. The first time should download. After that clicking should produce the song!!!! Talk of your Radiorage. I'm there. I want to blow something up.
Outstanding, ahead of its time, and timeless. From the middle of nowhere in Michigan, Del Shannon burst forth and enlivened the universe!
