Runaway Train

Well, I sold my guitar for a diamond ring

Yeah, the preacher's daughter's got a thing for me

With all of our stuff in a pickup truck

Yeah, we're headed out west in a cloud of dust

Runaway baby, like a runaway train

Like a train comin' off the tracks

Runaway baby, like a runaway train

Run away and never look back

Run away and never look back

Well, it's a Vegas weddin' at the break of day

By a magistrate dressed in blue suede

Lost all of our cash on a roll of the bones

Had to pawn that ring just to get back home

Runaway baby, like a runaway train

Like a train comin' off the tracks

Runaway baby, like a runaway train

Run away and never look back

Run away and never look back

In a cheap motel, on the county line

Sneakin' back into town in the black of night

I heard the preacher screamin' through the motel door

Yeah, he's cursin' my soul in the name of the Lord

Runaway baby, like a runaway train

Like a train comin' off the tracks

Runaway baby, like a runaway train

Run away and never look back

Runaway baby, like a runaway train

Like a train comin' off the tracks

Runaway baby, like a runaway train

Run away and never look back

Run away and never look back

Run away and never look back
