Jimmie Van Zant - Runaway Train lyrics

The day that I was born, someone cried 'all aboard' My destination was a mystery Started nice and slow, I heard that whistle blow At every crossing I've been pickin' up speed Ddicted to the rhythm, ignoring every sign The faster we go the more we leave behind Still we ride and we ride on this runaway train Watchin' life rushin' by through a dusty window pane The wind and the wheels keep screamin' to my brain Sayin' jump the track, get me outta here, Jack There's gotta be a way to stop this runaway train I got a nut to crack, about to break my back Nobody else is gonna shoulder this load Now I can feel the sweat, how much hotter can it get Before you realize you're out of control It ain't about the money, it's all about the race A little piece of heaven and the dreams we gotta chase Still we ride and we ride on this runaway train Watchin' life rushin' by through a dusty window pane The wind and the wheels keep screamin' to my brain Sayin' jump the track, get me outta here, Jack There's gotta be a way to stop this runaway train Someday I'll slow down when there's no where left to go I'll turn this train around and let it take me on home Yeah, we ride and we ride on this runaway train Watchin' life rushin' by through a dusty window pane The wind and the wheels keep callin' out my name Screamin' to my brain Gotta ride gotta ride this runaway train Devil right behind ya, drivin' you insane The wind and the wheels keep screamin' to my brain Sayin' jump the track, get me outta here, Jack There's gotta be a way to stop this runaway train Get me off this runaway train, get me off the runaway train
