Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Runnin' to Boston, heart on my sleeve
Two hundred bodies is all I need
These boys are hungry and a little vain
The truth is a runaway train
[Verse 2]
Flew down to airy California sun
So many people tryna be someone
Michelle Obama, you know my name
The truth is a runaway train
[Verse 3]
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
[Verse 4]
From California, flew down to Rome
Feels like the whole world is my home
I miss your laughter, I miss the rain
The truth is a runaway train
[Verse 5]
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
[Verse 6]
Even when you're innocent, all the leaves the same
And all those judges are starin' in shame
And you know I loved you as I loved you then
And you were the image of an angel
[Verse 7]
Oh
Runaway train
Come on now
Hey, oh
Runaway train
[Verse 8]
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
[Verse 9]
It's a runaway train, yeah oh, runaway train
Ooh
It's a runaway train
