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)
