Story Behind The Song
A girl who is disappointed in her acheivements in life and wants a second chance. Life didn't turn out like she had wanted. Her answer is to runaway and start over. To her community it's a mystery. They feel that she was kidnapped or possibly killed. As twisted as the concept might seem, that is exactly how she wanted it to be. To dissapear mysteriously, and start her life over. -Inspired by a true story.

Lyrics
She drove alone that night in a foggy haze.
She wonders how her life has gone astray.
She can?t remember when things ever turned out right.
She wants to start again, on her life.
She could take this road and go far away.
Could end this life, and everything would be O.K. ...O.K.
(pre chorus) No she never looked back, yeah she made that day
the end.
(Chorus) Back street runaway. Oooh a runaway.
No she never looked back, yeah that girl just faded
away.
Failure in every way, depressed everyday.
This way no teary eyes, and no sad goodbyes.
In a twisted mind, I guess that?s the way it should be.
Just exit here, and she set herself free.
- so wrongfully.
(pre chorus) No she never looked back, yeah she made that day
the end.
(Chorus) Back street runaway. Oooh a runaway.
No she never looked back, yeah that girl just faded
away.
(Radio broadcast) Local girl still missing after two weeks. Friends
family and co-workers say they knew something was wrong
when she did not return their calls. She was last seen
leaving work on a Friday night at 10 P.M.. Police predict a
possible kidnaping. Please contact authorities with any
information. On the business side of things.......
(pre chorus) No she never looked back, yeah she made that day
the end.
(Chorus) Back street runaway. Oooh a runaway.
No she never looked back, yeah that girl just faded
away.
Back street runaway. Oooh a runaway.
No she never looked back, yeah that girl just faded
away.
