Well its a long long way to Hell
A beaten path I do well know
And there's a lot more I could tell
About lonesome traveling show
And if you're listenin' well
You hear a powerful breeze a-blowin'
You hear a crash and a bang
And then you'll hear it again
Thats the runaway lovesick train
Well I stood there like a jerk
And got drink drunk thinkin' about her
I wondered man what could be worse
She took my heart when she took a powder
Shoulda never looked in her purse
I would have maybe never started to doubt her
You hear a crash and a bang
And then you'll hear it again
Thats the runaway lovesick train
The love she can fake
Moves like a snake
Slitherin' down the track
Once bitten twice dumb
Make no mistake
The snake will be slitherin' back
Its gonna whisper in your ear
"Here's your lonesome traveler home"
Then you'll pretend that you don't hear
As you shiver down to your bones
And when you're done cryin' in your beer
You'll be doin' it all alone
You hear a crash and a bang
And then you'll hear it again
Thats the runaway lovesick train
Thats the runaway lovesick train
Thats the runaway
Runaway lovesick train
