Peddle down to the river
Draw some pictures in the sand
Look on over the water
For the sight of another's hand

Oh please show me a face
One that's not my own
All I see on top of the water blue
Is the same face I've been bringing home

I'm looking for a friend
A friend to runaway with me
Three-thousand miles and we'll never go back
We'll fade on the trembling sea
You and me

See 'em in downtown bars
Hear 'em in uptown rooms
Spend all their time on good old chums
How about somebody new

'Cause I'm tired of talking to myself
Tired of drinking all alone
I want to commit a full day of crimes
And share it with someone close

I'm looking for a friend
A friend to runaway and soar
Climb aboard an old iron horse
Ride that train and never be bored
You, me and the world

In my dreams I do it over
I'm back where it all began
Fifteen and restless
With my first and only friend

I'm looking for a friend
A friend to runaway with me
Three-thousand miles and we'll never go back
We'll fade on the trembling sea
You and me
