He was a coalminer, working down in Pittsburg P.A.
She was his bride, but he held her in his arms for just a day
Everybody told him he was crazy, but he knew better
Couldn`t get that girl out of his head, he was gonna get her
Loaded up the truck, and stole her away
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away
I`m gonna steal ya, gonna cut a road to L.A.
A thousand miles to go, and a thousand more behind, they were on the run
Love can make you blind, so you never realize just what you`re running from
Everybody told `em they were crazy, but they knew better
Sure as there`s a sun up in the sky, they were gonna get there
Put their trust in luck to show them the way, yeah yeah
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away, gonna get you today
I`m gonna steal ya, gonna cut a road to L.A.
(Solo)
Just like that silver bird, we were never meant to fly
Forget about them, put your trust in me
You`re gonna see your name up in lights
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away, gonna get you today
I`m gonna steal ya, gonna cut a road to L.A., hey yeah
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away, gonna get you today
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away, steal you away
I`m gonna steal ya, gonna steal you away, yeah
Steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away, yeah
I`m gonna, I`m gonna, I`m gonna
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away, gonna get you today
I`m gonna steal ya, gonna cut a road to L.A., yeah yeah
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away, yeah yeah
I`m gonna steal ya, I`m gonna steal you away... (to fade)
