Del Shannon's Runaway is No. 472 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time! As a kid, Shannon got his first guitar for $5. His truck-driver dad wasn't too happy about it. "'You get that goddamn guitar outta here' — that's the exact words my father used," Shannon recalled. For example, "However, my ma said, 'It's OK, son. You can sing for me." This helped Del sing this hit with raw emotion; co-writer Crook played the solo on an early electronic keyboard called the Musitron.

Lyrics for "Runaway" As I walk along, I wonder A-what went wrong with our love A love that was so strong And as I still walk on, I think of The things we've done together While our hearts were young I'm a-walkin' in the rain Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain Wishin' you were here by me To end this misery I wonder I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder Why Why, why, why, why, why She ran away And I wonder Where she will stay My little runaway A-run, run, run, run, runaway I'm a-walkin' in the rain Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain Wishin' you were here by me To end this misery And I wonder I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder Why Why, why, why, why, why She ran away And I wonder Where she will stay My little runaway A-run, run, run, run, runaway Arun, run, run, run, runaway A-run, run, run, run, runaway Traveling Wilburys-Runaway (Del Shannon`s song) RELATED: Why Robert Plant Has Refused To Take Part In Led Zeppelin Reunion Tour
