Runaway Train feat. Jerry Douglas

Well, I started in the coal mine turning up the ground Tryinā€™ to power up my engine tryin to conjure up a sound When the fire started burning ā€˜til the furnace glowed red I could feel the tracks crawling
Toward the bridges up ahead

When the rattle starts rolling and the humming turns to whine Thereā€™s no sleeping in the cabin through the storming outside You can buckle up your belt, put a helmet on your head,
But thereā€™s no slowing down ā€˜til youā€™re broken or youā€™re dead

Itā€™s a runaway train
A wrecking ball of disaster
I canā€™t explain it
Just keeps on Rollin faster
The turns keep me up all night
So I lock it down and hold on tight Good God Almighty
Itā€™s a runaway train

You know the boys in the band they can understand Cause we built this rig with our own two hands
Itā€™s all about the people, all about the crowd
Makes us get up in the morning and sing it out loud

I got my woman waiting for me slinging babies all day
Trying to keep her composure with another on the way
You know the lovinā€™s strong when Iā€™m with ā€™em at home
But the suits keep blowing up my phone itā€™s so hard to stay gone

When the good lord tells me itā€™s time to come home When the rails get busted and and the wheels wonā€™t turn Set at coal scuttle down next to my stone
And remember my drive when my drivinā€™s done
