From the recording Watercolor - 2015
Lyrics
Sally told Janie it was all my fault.
I been runnin’ round with Leah,
tried to take her out.
That night at Michael’s
in the back of his car,
me and Leah went too far.
We were running away.
Oh, we were running away.
Oh, we were running away.
Janie got a free ride to NYU.
She left September, that’s all I knew.
Sally said she saw her,
upstate New York,
she had married a lawyer
and bought a farm.
She was running away.
Oh, she was running away.
Oh, she was running away.
And I wonder what would happen then
if I told Janie I loved her then.
Me and Sally got married that spring.
Bought us a farmhouse
with a front porch swing.
We have two children.
We watch them grow.
Ain’t it funny how life just turns out so.
We were running away.
Oh, we were running away.
Oh, we were running away.
And I wonder what would happen then
if I told Janie I loved her then.
