Runaway Train

Born and raised in Nowheresville A tiny dump in the States Knew every bar and every girl But so tired of this place I was aiming for the big career And everybody laughed 'bout my plans I knew that I had what it takes And I never gave a damn Because no one, no one caught my spirit No one, no one takes my reins Somewhere there's a new horizon Get on board of my dreams I'm like a runaway train, I'm a rollin' stone Blowin' off the steam everywhere I go I'm like a runaway train, never coming back Engine's running hot, speeding off the track I say hey, runaway, jump on off come and join the race I say hey, runaway, I'm like a runaway train never gonna stop Quit my job at "Murphy's Bar" Right on graduation day I grabbed the bags and my guitar One way ticket to L.A. Watched the trees and rivers passing by Wanted to get out as fast as could be Awakened by the city lights I knew this was waiting for me Because no one, no one caught my spirit No one, no one takes my reins Somewhere there's a new horizon Get on board of my dreams I'm like a runaway train, I'm a rollin' stone Blowin' off the steam everywhere I go I'm like a runaway train, never coming back Engine's running hot, speeding off the track I say hey, runaway, jump on off come and join the race I say hey, runaway, I'm like a runaway train never gonna stop I'm like a runaway train, I'm a rollin' stone I'm like a runaway train, I'm a rollin' stone I say hey, runaway, jump on off come and join the race I say hey, runaway, I'm like a runaway train never gonna stop
