Lyrics

Runnin' to Boston, heart on my sleeve
Two hundred bodies is all I need
These boys are hungry and a little vain
The truth is a runaway train
Flew down to LA, California sun
So many people tryna be someone
Michelle Obama, you know my name
Oh! The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
From California flew down to Rome
Feels like the whole world is my home
I miss your laughter, I miss the rain
Oh! The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train (It's a runaway train)
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
Even when you're innocent, all the leaves are same
And all those judges are Shakespearean and shady
And you know I loved you as I loved you then
When you were the image of an angel
Oh oh
It's a runaway train
Keep on moving, keep on mov...
It's a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train, ah
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train (It's a runaway train)
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
Oh! Don't you know, The truth is...
Ooh, Yeah!
