Bob Seger — Runaway Train

[Verse 1] Sometimes I stumble—sometimes I fall The angels of my nature won't accept last call I stop thinking—I just react Before I know it everything turns black I'm on a highway doin' ninety—utterly juiced Out of control and impossibly loose Uncomprehending—without a clue I don't know where I'm goin', I don't know what I'm gonna do [Chorus] I'm like a runaway train Screamin' through the back ten Roarin' through the rain Like a runaway train [Verse 2] Maybe it's a full moon—maybe high tide The fear of dying young that makes me take that ride I start up slowly—building up steam Before I know it all's illusion, it's like I'm in a dream No rhyme, no reason—nothin' 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 [Chorus] Like a runaway train Racin' to the void Roarin' through the rain Like a runaway train [Bridge] 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 tonight? Am I the only one that's sane? [Verse 3] We approach the speed of light—we approach infinite mass We can't cross over or the future becomes the past It's nice to know there's limits—nice to know there's walls But when you're on a bender you don't care about that at all There's only movin' forward—pickin' up speed Movement feels like freedom, sometimes that's all you need There's the wind in your hair—the cold on your brow Nothin' else matters—you're alive right now [Chorus] Like a runaway train Ragin' through the dark night Roarin' 'gainst the grain Like a runaway train [Outro] Oh, runaway train Oh, like a train Runaway train Runaway train Runaway train Runaway train
