Eric Clapton — Runaway Train

[Intro] By Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Olle Romo [Verse 1] There's a hungry road I can only hope is Going to 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1]
