Don’t Expect A Reply (Runaway Train) Lyrics by Wendy Bird

Natural Wonder

0

[verse 1]
There ain't a ball and chain
Oh, that can tie me down
There ain't a jail been made
Oh, that can hold me now
[bridge]
I heard some fool say
"she's got to be insane"
Well, it kind of looks that way
[Chorus]
From this runaway train that's out of control
No matter what I do, no matter where I go
You can say goodbye, I won't be back again
Don't expect a reply
Not from a runaway train
[verse 2]
Oh no they can't catch me
Because they move too slow
And they're new at this game
I started long ago
[bridge]
I tell her "I was here"
Before this track was laid
I was the first to arrive
[Chorus]
On this runaway train that's out of control
No matter what I do, no matter where I go
You can say goodbye, I won't be back again
Don't expect a reply
Not from a runaway train
[Instrumental]
[verse 3]
I used to roll on through
When it was countryside
And the cities they grew
Until they reached the sky
[bridge]
I'm gonna hit the coast
Oh, the roll on through
Wish you could see the view
[Chorus]
From this runaway train that's out of control
No matter what I do, no matter where I go
You can say goodbye, I won't be back again
Don't expect a reply
Not from a runaway train
[Chorus]
That's out of control
What I do, Where I go
You can say goodbye, I won't be back again
Don't expect a reply
Not from a runaway train
[outro]
No don't expect a reply
No don't expect a reply
No don't expect a reply
