Just sixteen a pick up truck Out of money out of luck Ive got no place to call my own Hit the gas and here I go Im running free yeah, Im running free Im running free yeah, Im running free Spend the night in an l.a. jail Listen to the sirens wail But they aint got a thing on me Im running wild Im running free Im running free yeah, Im running free Im running free yeah, Im running free Pulled her at the bottle top Whiskey dancing disco hop And all the boys are after me And thats the way its gonna be Im running free yeah, Im running free

Our dad would send us to our room he'd be the voice of doom he said that we would thank him later all day he was solid as a rock but by eight o'clock we'd be crumbling one night my brother Joe and me climbed down the family tree that grew outside our bedroom window we ran though we knew it couldn't last running from the past from things that we were born to be Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the back seat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre Dad rang the officer in charge a man so large he barely fit his circumstances he said two kids out on the street were picked up on the beat and in the station so there's me with Emily and Joe daddy driving home all heading in the same direction he knew no matter what the breaks we'd make the same mistakes couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the backseat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are looking back it's so bizarre Like a dream within a dream we're all somewhere in between Like a drummer plays his drum like a father like a son - and your gonna have to face the music - face the music Hey hey we keep it running in the family hey hey we keep it coming in the family Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the backseat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - 'cause we all have our daddy's eyes take me back into your arms it's no longer a mystery no cause for alarm could have never come this far with no sense of history it always leaves a scar - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre running in the family Hey, hey!
