Runaway Train Lyrics

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
