Runaway Train

[Verse 1: Elton John]

There's a hungry road I can only hope's

Gonna eat me up inside

There's a drifting spirit coming clean

In the eye of a lifelong fire

Tell Monday I'll be around next week

I'm running ahead of my days

In the shotgun chance that scattered us

I've seen the error of my ways

[Verse 2: Eric Clapton]

Well we've wrapped ourselves in golden crowns

Like sun gods spitting rain

Found a way home written on this map

Like red dye in my veins

In the hardest times that come around

The fear of losing grows

I've lost and seen the world shut down

It's a darkness no one knows

[Chorus: Elton John and Eric Clapton]

And I've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain

Standing in a station waiting in the rain

I'm starting to feel a little muscle again

But love is lost like a runaway train

Oh I'm out of control and out of my hands

I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land

Trying to get a grip on my life again

Nothing hits harder than a runaway train

[Guitar Solo: Eric Clapton]

[Chorus: Elton John and Eric Clapton]

And I've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain

Standing in a station waiting in the rain

I'm starting to feel a little muscle again

But love is lost like a runaway train

Oh I'm out of control and out of my hands

I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land

Trying to get a grip on my life again

Nothing hits harder than a runaway train
