Speeding Train Songtext
von Chris Knight

She got up early to board the train
Dragged her bag through the pouring rain
And the note said "Never Again"
That train′s set and bound to go
And I'm five miles from the depot
And this race I′ll never win

She's riding on that train alone
It took her like she was it's 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 leaving in her head
And my heart in her hands

Well I guess by now she's out of state
But 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
Gotta stop this bleeding pain
Lord help me if you can

She's got leaving in her head
She′s got leaving in her head
She's got leaving in her head
And my heart in her hands
