Ian Cussick Runaway Train
johnny and me we are cool operators
sliding down to the cool, cool water we go
it takes 24 hours to make 25 miles
to the borderline we know
3 hours later out of stonehaven prison
my hands are freezing
and my breath is freezing the air
and if my heart is beating like 100 guns
behind enemy lines, who cares
i wear a ball and chain
i know it has my name
but i ain’t gonna wear it no more
on this runaway train
over the hill far away
with the rain pouring down
on the midnight express
on a highway to hell
no on can pray for me now
will we ever find home
johnny and me on a strange locomotive
there’s no on driving
but we still keep feeling the need
it takes 24 hours to make 25 miles
to the borderline, we need speed
5 hours later out of stonehaven prison
the engines thunder
but there’s nobody on board
and my heart’s still beating like a 100 guns
as the train lifts off and leaves the ground
i wear a ball and chain
i know it has my name
but i ain’t gonna wear it no more
on this runaway train
over the hill far away
with the rain pouring down
on the midnight express
on a highway to hell
no on can pray for me now
on this runaway train
over the hill far away
turning black is the sky
on the nowhere express
we’re halfway to the hell
we’ll have to run ‘till we die
home is the place
where the sun always shines
on you everyday
it’s so far away from hell
it’s a place you can tell
that we’re here by your side
