Runaway Train

Born like everyone with a slate as clean

Baby grew into a boy and started building steam

Boy learned how to blow it off in a dangerous kind of way

Well fellas here he comes that runaway train

Now hear his lonesome cry barrelin' down the track

Out of control his soul dressed in black

Sound to every man that's broken the chain

Rollin rollin rollin like a runaway train

It ain't easy to do your best when life comes at you fast

On his own so early on too young for such a task

Took the bull by the horn sometimes that bull was mean

And only at it stoking on that runaway train

Married young and daddy soon his life was right on track

Something rumbled in his soul something that he lacked

He had to chase that melody that fueled a childhood dream

There ain't no holding back that runaway train

Rollin rollin rollin like a runaway train

Hmmmmm I here that train a commin

Hmmmmm Hey Porter Ohh Porter

Hmmmmm I don't care if I do da do
