[Verse 1] 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 pick up truck Yeah we're headed out west in a cloud of dust [Chorus:] Runaway baby like a runaway train Like a train coming off the tracks Runaway baby like a runaway train Runaway and never look back Runaway and never look back [Verse 2] Well, it's a Vegas wedding 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] In a cheap motel on the county line Sneaking back into town in the black of night I heard the preacher screaming through the motel door Yeah he's cursing' my soul in the name of the Lord [Chorus] Runaway baby like a runaway train Like a train coming off the tracks Runaway baby like a runaway train Runaway and never look back Runaway baby like a runaway train Like a train coming off the tracks Runaway baby like a runaway train Runaway and never look back Runaway and never look back [Outro] Runaway and never look back
