Runaway Train Lyrics by Trish Murphy

Rubies on the Lawn

0

We chased tornados on the interstate
In a pickup truck
We were just playing some stupid game
Some stupid kids made up
Oh, I guess we thought we knew
The damage they could do
But I bet we showed them a thing or two
Me and you

Runaway freight train sound
The hosue turned upside-down
Runaway freight town sound
Truer than a one horse town

The tumbleweeds that summer
We liked to watch them roll
We cleared a space in the backseat
We did it in the road
We picked up a tumbleweed
We set it on the floor
Tearing off your tee-shirt
We broke the bedroom door

Runaway freight train sound
The hosue turned upside-down
Runaway freight town sound
Truer than a one horse town

Standing still in time
We were more than you and I
Something real and true
And the wind keeps blowing by

I hear you in a whisper. I feel you on my skin
And after all this time I know
I can't go back again

Runaway freight train sound
The hosue turned upside-down
Runaway freight town sound
Truer than a one horse town
Runaway freight train sound
The hosue turned upside-down
Runaway freight town sound
Truer than a one horse town
