Runaway Train Lyrics

I hear a fuzzy AM station

As I head toward my chosen damnation

Runaway train, leaving town

Ain't gonna be seen around

Gonna catch that 9:05, get outta this town alive

Soldiers of fortune, paupers of peace

Fight over my soul while I sleep

Rollin' rhythm, ease my mind

Gonna leave this town behind

Last train leavin' town

Ain't gonna be seen around no more

At night I lay in my bed and dream, and hear that lonesome whistle scream

Now the smoke you see ain't from the mill

They're burnin' Vonnegut and Zeppelin on Mount Pleasant Hill

Gonna catch that 9:05

I'm getting' out of this town alive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
