Runaway Train

I'm a runaway train on a dead-end line

There's work on the tracks but it's gonna take time

The engine's full of coal and burning bright

But the driver's passed out on moonshine

Ain't nobody gonna blow that whistle

No way, no how

I got lost in ruby lips

And the way her skirt embraced her hips

I had that devil fire burning in my bones

Lord, have mercy on me and save my soul

Well, shit got real when she got crazy

I got gone before she could take my name

I had that whiskey fire running through my veins

Oh, three rocks, two fingers and a crack-shot aim

I'm a runaway train on a dead-end line

There's work on the tracks, but it's gonna take time

The engine's full of coal and burning bright

And the driver's passed out on moonshine

Ain't nobody gonna blow that whistle

No way, no how

Mama cried, her daddy raved

Shotgun wedding couldn't make me stay

I had that engine fire burning red-hot coals

Lord can't help me, none can save my soul

Well, there's a station just around the bend

When I pull the brakes, it's when the trouble starts again

I'm a runaway train on a dead-end line

There's work on the tracks, but it's gonna take time

The engine's full of coal and burning bright

But the driver's passed out on moonshine

Ain't nobody gonna blow that whistle

No way, no how

Yeah, ain't nobody gonna blow that whistle

No way, no how
