Runaway Train Lyrics

Can't stop the pain of yesterday

I can only explain myself today

Get outta my way

Or todays the day, you'll get hit by a runaway

Ah, another little lie

The Devil's tryna see if I take his side

Ah, just look right in my eyes

You can see the war ragin on inside

Can't escape this space

Can't feel your embrace

(Can't feel your embrace)

Can't begin to explain how I can't seem to catch a break

I ain't an open book, but some will tell you

The cover's all you need

I ain't got problems but I got issues

If you know what that means

I'm on a Runaway Train

I can't even explain

How I got on in the first place

I don't know where I'll go

Destination unknown

Looks like there's no hope, I guess that's why

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade

But when God gives you life, oh, you give him the day

Ah, the whiskey and the pain

You could say it didn't do a damn thing

(It didn't do a damn thing)

And that's damn shame

I'm stuck in my own way

Dead man walking to his own grave, I'm sayin

If I'm not saved, I might just die today

So get out of my way

Cause this train

Is bound to hit your place

(Bound to hit your place)

And It's the hand I've been dealt

Yeah that's what they say

The hell with that anyway

I'm either breaking away

Or I'm dying today

Looks like my life won't hit the breaks

I'm on a Runaway Train

I can't even explain

How I got on in the first place

I don't know where I'll go

Destination unknown

Looks like there's no hope, I guess that's why

When life gives you women, you hope that they'll stay

But when God gives a wife, oh, you give her the day

(You give her the day)
