Speeding Train - Chris Knight

SHE GOT UP EARLY TO BOARD THE TRAIN, DRAGGED HER BAG THROUGH THE POURING RAIN

AND THE NOTE SAID, NEVER AGAIN

THAT TRAINS SET AND BOUND TO GO, BUT IM FIVE MILES FROM THE DEPOT

AND THIS RACE, ILL NEVER WIN

SHES RIDING ON THAT TRAIN ALONE, IT TOOK LIKE SHE WAS ITS OWN

NOTHING LEFT NOW BUT EMPTY TRACKS

AS I STARE OFF DOWN THEM SHINY RAILS, THAT WHISTLE GIVES A LONESOME WAIL

ITS UP TO ME NOW, TO BRING HER BACK

YEAH I GOTTA STOP THIS SPEEDING TRAIN, GOTTA STOP THIS BLEEDING PAIN

LORD HELP ME IF YOU CAN

SHES GOT LEAVIN IN HER HEAD, AND MY HEART IN HER HANDS

WELL I GUESS BY NOW SHES OUTTA STATE, AND IM A LITTLE BIT RUNNIN LATE

I WISH I HAD A FASTER CAR

IF I EVER BRING HER BACK, ILL DYNAMITE THOSE RAILROAD TRACKS

AND NEVER GO NEAR ANOTHER BAR

YEAH I GOTTA STOP THIS SPEEDING TRAIN, GOTTA STOP THIS BLEEDING PAIN

LORD HELP ME IF YOU CAN

SHES GOT LEAVIN IN HER HEAD, SHES GOT LEAVIN IN HER HEAD

SHES GOT LEAVIN IN HER HEAD, AND MY HEART IN HER HANDS
