Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer-songwriter. She is noted for her distinctive, raspy voice which she attributes to many hours spent singing in smoky bars and clubs. Carnes was a member of New Christy Minstrels from 1966 until 1970. Kenny Rogers was also a member, and during this time Carnes met and married Dave Ellingson, with whom she would write most of her songs. For a short while in the early 1970s, she and Ellingson formed the folk duo Kim and Dave, which was not successful.

Hit & Run Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Donna Weiss/Jackie DeShannon)
Hit and run
Who is the love killer
Who ruined the music we thought was so special
Like fire between us spent over and over
Who emptied my bed and left me with nothing
Hit and Run
It came so sudden
From the mouth of the kiss that whispered forever
From the body of the soul that made my eyes listen
I'm hearing goodbye
But I don't want to listen
Love will tear and do you on
Turn you inside out and when
All you got is less than dim
You know you're grabbin' at straws
And you'd do it again
Hit and run
Who is the love killer
Who ruined the music we thought was so special
Like fire between us spent over and over
Who emptied my bed and left me with nothing
