It's been sixteen weeks, fourteen hours,
twenty -five dates, a truckload of flowers are due, man what a man won't do.
But just one touch was all it took
A slow two -step and a come -on -look,
and I knew
That was my cue
It's gonna take a mudslide to slow down
This runaway heart tonight
A high tide to try and drown
This yearning that's burnin' inside
Like an avalanche on a field of flames
A brick wall dropped on a fast freight train
It's gonna take a mudslide
to slow them down
Just run away hard tonight
You've never known me to be so patient
One woman's love to keep
me waiting this long
That I could hang it on
I was gonna give up until tonight
Her blue eyes flashed me the green light
And I know that means go
It's gonna take a mudslide to slow down
This runaway heart tonight
A high tide to try and drown
This journey that's burning inside
I can have a planche on a field of flames
A brick wall dropped on a fast freight train
It's gonna take a mudslide
to slow them down
Let's run away hard tonight
I can have a planche on a field of flames
A brick wall dropped on a fast freight train
It's gonna take a mudslide to slow down
This runaway heart tonight
It's gonna take a mudslide
It's gonna take a mudslide
