Lyrics Chris Knight – Speeding Train
Text:
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 I’m five miles from the depot
And this race, I’ll never win
And this race, I’ll never win
She’s 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
It’s 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
She’s got leavin’ in her head
And my heart in her hands
Well, I guess by now she’s outta state
And I’m a little bit runnin’ late
I wish I had a faster car
If I ever bring her back
I’ll dynamite those railroad tracks
And never go near another bar
Yeah, I gotta stop this speeding train…
