Runaway Train Lyrics

Now I'm not usually one to talk to strangers
But I walked right up to you and said hello
I might be flirting with danger
This might not be love but here I go

I'm on a runaway train
On a hell bent track
After one look I knew
There was no turning back
No jumping off
We're moving way too fast
I couldn't stop it even if I tried
So I'll just enjoy the ride
I'm on a runaway train

You may be this small town's big heart-breaker
Or you may be the mate to my lost soul
Hope I'm not making a mistake here
All aboard for losing all control

I'm on a runaway train
On a hell bent track
After one look I knew
There was no turning back
No jumping off
We're moving way too fast
I couldn't stop it even if I tried
So I'll just enjoy the ride
I'm on a runaway train

There's no way for us to know
Which way this is gonna go
All we can do is hold on tight

I'm on a runaway train
On a hell bent track
After one look I knew
There was no turning back
No jumping off
We're moving way too fast
I couldn't stop it even if I tried
So I'll just enjoy the ride
I'm on a runaway train

Don't Come Cryin' to Me

Now I'm not usually one to talk to strangers
But I walked right up to you and said hello
I might be flirting with danger
This might not be love but here I go

I'm on a runaway train
On a hell bent track
After one look I knew
There was no turning back
No jumping off
We're moving way too fast
I couldn't stop it even if I tried
So I'll just enjoy the ride
I'm on a runaway train

You may be this small town's big heart-breaker
Or you may be the mate to my lost soul
Hope I'm not making a mistake here
All aboard for losing all control

I'm on a runaway train
On a hell bent track
After one look I knew
There was no turning back
No jumping off
We're moving way too fast
I couldn't stop it even if I tried
So I'll just enjoy the ride
I'm on a runaway train

There's no way for us to know
Which way this is gonna go
All we can do is hold on tight

I'm on a runaway train
On a hell bent track
After one look I knew
There was no turning back
No jumping off
We're moving way too fast
I couldn't stop it even if I tried
So I'll just enjoy the ride
I'm on a runaway train

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.
