Series Description

The Crime Story TV show was a 60 minute drama series on NBC about the head of a police Major Crime Unit and his quest to rid his city of it's most wanted criminals. It must have been planned to last longer than two seasons as it ended in a cliffhanger obviously designed to make the audience excited about the next season of Crime Story.

Crime Story Theme Song

Title: "Runaway"

By: Del Shannon"

As I walk along I wonder 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-walking in the rain
tears are falling and I feel a pain
Wishing you were here by me
to end this misery
and I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
why,why-why-why-why-why
she ran away,
and I wonder
where she will stay - yay,
my little Runaway,
a-run-run-run-run-runaway.

(Instrumental Interlude)

I'm a-walking in the rain
tears are falling and I feel a pain
Wishing you were here by me
to end this misery and I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa- wonder why,
why-why-why-why-why she ran away,
and I wonder
where she will stay-yay,
my little Runaway,
a-run-run-run-run-runaway.
