Runaway Train
Runaway train, coming down the track
A life of pain, carried on my back
Speeding by, towns with no names
You can’t cry, on the runaway train.
Sometimes life, takes you for a ride
Only nineteen and I’ve got a bride
Hop on board, stay by my side
“I want off”, is what she cried.
Runaway train, coming down the track
A life of pain, carried on my back
Speeding by, towns with no names
You can’t cry, on the runaway train.
Looking for a job, one can’t be found
Steal a loaf of bread, run outta town
Just trying to get by, the best I can
There’s no going, back home again.
Runaway train, coming down the track
A life of pain, carried on my back
Speeding by, towns with no names
You can’t cry, on the runaway train.
