Born and raised in Nowheresville
A tiny dump in the States
Knew every bar and every girl
But so tired of this place
I was aiming for the big career
And everybody laughed 'bout my plans
I knew that I had what it takes
And I never gave a damn
Because no one, no one caught my spirit
No one, no one takes my reins
Somewhere there's a new horizon
Get on board of my dreams
I'm like a runaway train, I'm a rollin' stone
Blowin' off the steam everywhere I go
I'm like a runaway train, never coming back
Engine's running hot, speeding off the track
I say hey, runaway, jump on off come and join the race
I say hey, runaway, I'm like a runaway train never gonna stop
Quit my job at "Murphy's Bar"
Right on graduation day
I grabbed the bags and my guitar
One way ticket to L.A.
Watched the trees and rivers passing by
Wanted to get out as fast as could be
Awakened by the city lights
I knew this was waiting for me
Because no one, no one caught my spirit
No one, no one takes my reins
Somewhere there's a new horizon
Get on board of my dreams
I'm like a runaway train, I'm a rollin' stone
Blowin' off the steam everywhere I go
I'm like a runaway train, never coming back
Engine's running hot, speeding off the track
I say hey, runaway, jump on off come and join the race
I say hey, runaway, I'm like a runaway train never gonna stop
