Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a hungry road, I can only hope
It's gonna eat me up inside
There's a drifting spirit, coming clean
In the eye of a lifelong fire
[Verse 2]
Tell Monday I'll be around next week
I'm runnin' ahead of my days
In the shotgun chance
That scattered us
I've seen the error of my ways
[Verse 3]
Oh
Oh
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
[Verse 4]
In the hardest towns
That come around
The fear of losin' grows
I've lost and seen
The world shut down
It's a darkness no one knows
Whoa
Whoa
[Verse 5]
And I've poured out the pleasure
And dealt with the pain
Standing in the station, waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again
But love is lost like a runaway train
[Verse 6]
I'm out of control
And out of my hands
I'm tearin' like a demon
Through no man's land
Tryin' to get a grip on my life again
Nothing hits harder than a runaway train
[Verse 7]
And I've poured out the pleasure
And dealt with the pain
Standing in the station, waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again
But love is lost and like a runaway train
[Verse 8]
Well, I'm out of control
And out of my hands
I'm tearin' like a demon
Through the no man's land
I'm tryin' to get a grip on my life again
Nothing hits harder than a runaway train
[Verse 9]
And I've poured out the pleasure
And dealt with the pain
I'm standin' on the station, waiting on the rain
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again
But love is lost like a runaway train
Yeah
