runaway train

Singer: bob seger

sometimes i stumble

sometimes i fall

the angels of my nature won't accept the last call

i stop thinking

i just react

before i know it everything turns black

i'm on a highway doing 90

utterly juiced

out of control and impossibly loose

i'm comprehending without a clue

i don't know where i'm going

i don't know what i'm gonna do

i'm like a runaway train

screaming through the back tent

roaring through the rain

like a runaway train

maybe it's a full moon

baby

high-end tide

the fear of dying young

it makes me take that ride

i start up slowly building up steam

before i know it all is illusion

it's like i'm in a dream

no man

no reason

nothing makes sense

no future

no past

only present tense

i'm out there floating completely alone

in a universe of chaos indifferent as a stone

like a runaway train

racing to the void

roaring through the rain

like a runaway train

i can't explain the unexplainable

where's the electron gonna be next?

do we really die for love and glory

or only for wealth and sex?

is there a reason why i'm on this road?

is it random or ordained?

is everyone in the world dead today?

am i the only that's saved?

we approach the speed of light

we approach infinite mass

we can't cross over

all our future becomes the past

it's nice to know those limits

nice to know those walls

but when you're on a bender you don't care about that at all

there's only moving forward

picking up speed

moving feels like freedom

sometimes that's all you need

there's the wind in your hair

the cold on your brow

nothing else matters

you're alive right now

like a runaway train

raging through the dark night

roaring 'gainst the grain

like a runaway train

oh

runaway train

oh

like a train

runaway train

runaway train

runaway train

runaway train
