Moving in the fast lane, down the rails we go Nothing to stop you, for miles on end you flow Building speed and power, on the razor's edge we shift Only on one rail, reaction must be swift It must be swift Coming to a mountain hill, there is no turning back When we hit the bottom curve we'll jump right off the track Train Runaway train Train Runaway train The sound of squealing steel as we try to brake Sparks and heat from the hotbox, how much will it take? Will it take? Coming to a mountain hill, there is no turning back When we hit the bottom curve we'll jump right off the track Moving down the rail Brakes begin to fail There's no time to bail Santa Fe Express, moving down the rail Cargo load, we're moving, must get there without fail Without fail Coming to a mountain hill, there is no turning back When we hit the bottom curve we'll jump right off the track Train Runaway train Train Runaway train Train Runaway train Train Runaway train Train Runaway train
