Lyrics:

We're gonna take you back in time to a song
That me and Cooley started playing together back in 1987
We used to have a band called Adam's House Cat out of Muscle Shoals, Alabama
And we never quite made it this far
But we're gonna take you back and do a song from those days that we wrote
And this song, ah, this was I guess as close to a single as that band had
This song's called 'Runaway Train'

Me and my baby's on a runaway train, on a runaway train, on a runaway train

Runaway train, you and me
So damn glad it's a one-way ride
Time's running out, steaming faster
A non-stop joyride, no way back
Tell my mama I'm comin' back home
Soon as this train runs off its track
Me and my baby's on a runaway train
Me and my baby's on a runaway train, on a runaway train, on a runaway train

Be quiet, bitch, don't scream at me
Save your dirty looks for the undertaker
Before too long it'll all be gone
Drops of blood in a boilermaker
Then we'll be on the TV news
The lives we lived lost in vain
I bought my ticket on a runaway train
Can't stand livin', can't stand pain
Be no flowers or sympathy, just a big red stain on the bedroom wall
Me and my baby's on a runaway train
Me and my baby's on a runaway train

No more boring nights with the TV set on
No more screaming fights on the telephone
No more stinking lies, no more phony 'I love you's'
'Cause I can't stand me and I can't stand you
Runaway train, I can't stand the way you look when you look at me
Runaway train, I can't stand the sound of your voice when you talk to me
Runaway train, I can't stand to feel your touch when you're touching me
Don't mind dyin' 'cause it's hard and fast
A mass of twisted metal, broken bodies, broken glass
Broken engines, broken hearts, for throttle overdrive
Broken people all around, broken train, broken lives

Me and my baby's on a runaway train
Me and my baby's on a runaway train, runaway

Runaway, runaway, runaway, run the fuckin' runaway train
