"Runaway Train" lyrics

"Runaway Train"

No lazy river, no Sunday drive
No wading in a Blanco stream
Bullets shootin', lightning strikin'
No common sense of timin'
Ever since you saw me, you've been pickin' up speed

You've got a heart like a runaway train
Screamin' down the mountainside
Burnin' like a fever that you can't contain
Hummin' like the 405
Headed off the rails, and you're comin' in fast
You're 'bout to hit me like a heart attack
Boy, you've got a heart like a runaway train

No drug-store roses, no cheap champagne
Stuff I'd only throw away
Comets sailing, arrows flying
We're roller coaster ridin'
Sayin' all the things that we shouldn't say
But I gotta say

Boy, you've got a heart like a runaway train
Screamin' down the mountainside
Burnin' like a fever that you can't contain
Hummin' like the 405
Headed off the rails, and you're comin' in fast
You're 'bout to hit me like a heart attack
Boy, you've got a heart like a runaway train, mm

Runaway
Runaway
Runaway
Runaway

Boy, you've got a heart like a runaway train
Screamin' down the mountainside
Burnin' like a fever that you can't contain
Hummin' like the 405
Headed off the rails, and you're comin' in fast
You're 'bout to hit me like a heart attack
Boy, you've got a heart like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
