Lyric Runaway Train

by Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Olle Romo

There s a hungry road I can only hope s
Gonna eat me up inside.
There s a drifting spirit coming clean
In the eye of a lifelong fire.
Tell Monday I ll be around next week;
I m running ahead of my days.
In the shotgun chance that scattered us,
I ve seen the error of my ways.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.

Well we ve wrapped ourselves in golden crowns
Like sun gods spitting rain.
Found a way home written on this map
Like red dye in my veins.
In the hardest times that come around,
The fear of losing grows.
I ve lost and seen the world shut down;
It s a darkness no one knows.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.

And I ve poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain.
I m standing in a station waiting in the rain.
I m starting to feel a little muscle again,
But love is lost like a runaway train.

I m out of control and out of my hands.
I m tearing like a demon through no man s land.
I m trying to get a grip on my life again.
Nothing hits harder than a runaway train.

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.

Third Verse

And I ve poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain.
I m standing in a station waiting in the rain.
I m starting to feel a little muscle again,
But love is lost like a runaway train.
