A los 15 años, Joan formó The Runaways con otras tres rapadas, Sandy West, Lita Ford y Cherie Currie. Joan cantaba, tocaba la guitarra rítmica y escribía mucho material de la banda. La banda grabó cinco LPs y giró por todo el mundo entero junto con Cheap Trick, Van Halen, Tom Petty y The Heartbreakers. Tuvieron especialmente éxito en Japón.
Mientras que The Runaways eran muy populares en Europa, Japón, Australia, Canadá y en Sudamérica, ellas no tuvieron el mismo éxito en Estados Unidos.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

C {2x} CAm I watch my generation die CAm I watch the heads of nations lie FFm I watch the homeless on the streets CG I stand here helpless just lookin' at my feet
CAm I watch the children run away CAm The bullets fly where they would play FFm I watch a junkie fade away CG I ain't got an answer but I sure got things to say
{CHORUS-1:} CAm Hey Hey, I gotta find a way CAm Cause the road is dark gotta light my way FFm Gotta fight the fear in my heart CGFC Oh, I pray I live to see a brighter day, hey hey
CAm I watch the old folks sit alone CAm They talk to ghosts they used to know FFm Where are the wise men of the tribe CG Where are the midwives and the newborn's cry, yeah
CAm I wish that I could I'd turn back time CAm Way back before there was corporate crime FFm We'd fight the wind to plant our seed CG When the earth was stronger than the human greed
{Chorus-1}
CEm I'm not tryin' to tell ya what's right or wrong BbF I'm not trying to be clever FmC You gotta hope things get better G {no chord} Even when they never...hey, hey, hey, hey
{CHORUS–2:} CAm Hey, I gotta find a way CAm Cause the road is dark gotta light my way FFm Gotta fight the fear in my heart CGC Oh, I pray I live to see A Brighter Day
