Runaway Train Lyrics by Stray Cats

Let’s Go Faster

0

Well, I fell down on the bar room floor
The bartender said, "Don't come in here no more"
I passed out in the parking lot
They took one look at me and said, "Look what we got"

Well, knocked out drunk, passing time
Bought a one way ticket on a two way line
How come every single girl I've ever met
Wants to know about things that haven't happened yet

Making love to you is like a mystery date
I'm always early and you're always late
Things are just never gonna be the same
Making love to you is like a runaway train

Illinois central, Southern freight
I'm coming around, baby, don't you hesitate
Well, can't you hear the train coming down the track
Once I'm leaving now, I'm never coming back

Things are just never gonna be the same
Making love to you is like a runaway train

Making love to you is like a mystery date
I'm always early and you're always late
Things are just never gonna be the same
Making love to you is like a runaway train

I don't know
But I think I've lost my mind
Every time that I'm with you
I hear the train coming down the line

I see the train coming and it's right on time
We've got a third rail love with a one-track mind
Well, can't you hear the train coming down the tracks
I ain't stopping now, I'm never coming back

Things are just never gonna be the same
Making love to you is like a runaway train
