Runaway Train

Stray Cats


Well I fell down on the barroom floor 
Well the bartender said don't come in here no more 
I passed out in the parking lot 
They took one look at me and said look what we got 

Well knocked out drunk, passing time 
I bought a one ticket on a two way line 
How come every single girl I've ever met 
Wants to know about things that haven't happened yet 

Well making love to you is like a mystery date 
I'm always early and you're always late 
Things are just never going to be the same 
Making love to you is like a runaway train 

Illinois central, Southern freight 
I'm comin' round a-baby, don't you hesitate 
Can't you hear the train coming down the track 
Once I'm leaving now, I'm never coming back 
Things are just never gonna be the same 
Making love to you is like a runaway train 

Well making love to you is like a mystery date 
I'm always early and you're always late 
Things are just never going to be the same 
Making love to you is like a runaway train 

I don't know but I think I've lost my mind 
Every time that I'm with you I hear that train coming down the line 
I see the train a-coming and it's right on time 
We got a third rail love with a one track mind 
Well can't you hear the train a-coming down the track 
I ain't stoppin' now, I'm never coming back 
Things are just never gonna be the same 
Making love to you is like a runaway train
