Runaway Train Lyrics - Feels Like Freedom - Jimmie Van Zant

The day that I was born, someone cried all aboard 

My destination was a mystery 

Started nice and slow, I heard that whistle blow 

At every crossing I've been pickin' up speed 

Addicted to the rhythm, ignoring every sign 

The faster we go the more we leave behind 

STILL WE RIDE AND WE RIDE ON THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN 

WATCHIN' LIFE RUSHIN' BY THROUGH A DUSTY WINDOW PANE 

THE WIND AND THE WHEELS KEEP SCREAMIN' TO MY BRAIN 

SAYIN' JUMP THE TRACK, GET ME OUT'A HERE JACK 

THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO STOP THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN 

I got a nut to crack, about to break my back 

Nobody else is gonna shoulder this load 

Now I can feel the sweat, how much hotter can it get 

Before you realize you're out of control 

It ain't about the money, it's all about the race 

A little piece of heaven and the dreams we gotta chase 

SO WE RIDE AND WE RIDE ON THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN 

WATCHIN' LIFE RUSHIN' BY THROUGH A DUSTY WINDOW PANE 

THE WIND AND THE WHEELS KEEP SCREAMIN' TO MY BRAIN 

SAYIN' JUMP THE TRACK, GET ME OUT'A HERE JACK 

THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO STOP THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN 

Someday I'll slow down 

When there's no where left to go 

I'll turn this train around and let it take me on home 

YEAH, WE RIDE AND WE RIDE ON THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN 

WATCHIN' LIFE RUSHIN' BY THROUGH A DUSTY WINDOW PANE 

THE WIND AND THE WHEELS KEEP CALLIN' OUT MY NAME ... SCREAMIN' TO MY BRAIN 

GOTTA RIDE GOTTA RIDE THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN 

DEVIL RIGHT BEHIND YA, DRIVIN' YOU INSANE 

THE WIND AND THE WHEELS KEEP SCREAMIN' TO MY BRAIN 

SAYIN' JUMP THE TRACK, GET ME OUT'A HERE JACK 

THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO STOP THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN 

GET ME OFF THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN 

GET ME OFF THE RUNAWAY TRAIN
