LOVE THIS SONG
"Runaway Train"

Call you up in the middle of the night,
Like a firefly without a light,
You were there like a slow torch burning,
Was a key that could use a little turning.

So tired that I couldn't eat or sleep,
So many secrets I couldn't keep,
Promise myself I wouldn't breathe,
One more promise I couldn't keep.

It seems no one can help me now,
I'm in too deep there's no way out,
This time I have really,
Lead myself astray.

Runaway train never going back,
Runaway on a one way track,
Seems like we should be getting somewhere,
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.

Can you help me remember how to smile,
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile,
How on earth did I get so jaded,
Life's mystery seems so faded.

I can go where no one else can go,
I know what no one else knows,
Here I am just drowning in the rain,
With a ticket for a runaway train.

And everything is cold and dry,
Day and night earth and sky,
Somehow I just,
Don't believe it.
(yeah, yeah)

Runaway train never going back,
Runaway on a one way track,
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Bought a ticket for a runaway train,
I came back there laughing at the rain,
A little out of touch a little insane,
Just easier than dealing with the pain.

Runaway train never going back,
Runaway on a one way track,
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.

Runaway train never going back,
Runaway train's heading up the track,
Runaway train burning in my veins,
Runaway but it all seems the same.

(Runaway, runaway)

*lights lighter*
*waves it slowly in the air*

Great song

Its a hard song to listen to these days but a great song

NO KIDDING!

a lot of music is hard to listen to...

stand by your man (i allawys think of the blues brothers movie, when their singin it in the bar, w/ the one guy by himself w/ his beer)

heh, i guess that puts me, you, and that guy, all in the same category huh? LOL! it's a good thing i don't drink, cause if i did... omg i want one right now!

I got a big song I can't listen to at all anymore man
I am not going to go into detail but I just can't listen to it anymore

I love Tom Petty .....he did a great job w/ this song also!!
