Intro  D   C   G   D  
DHeadlights on the ceiling as she pulls into the drive
CShe never says she's coming, she never says goodbye
GShe's gonna bring the sunshine and she's gonna bring the raDin
Its like I'm stanCding at the staGtion and I'm waiting on a runaway tDrain
DWhen I was a youngin, my momma used to pray
CThat I'd find me a Christian girl and settle down someday
GBut the devils at the front door and she's calling out my naDme
Its like I'm staCnding at the station and I'm waitGing on a runaway traiCn
[Chorus:]
BmRunaway trAain coming doGwn the tracDk
BmRunaway trAain it don't Gcome backD  
DYeah I know what she's doing but right now I don't care
CShe can be Delilah to cut off all my hair
GWoman's got a hold on me ... I just can't explaDin
Its like I'm staCnding at the station and I'm waGiting on a runaway trDain
[Chorus]
BmRunaway trAain coming doGwn the tracDk
BmRunaway trAain it don't Gcome backD  
DIn the morning when I wake and find that woman gone
CI will swear this time that I'm finally moving on
GDeep down in my heart I know nothings gonna chDange 
And I'll be staCnding at the station and waiGting on a runaway traDin
[Chorus]
BmRunaway trAain coming doGwn the tracDk
BmRunaway trAain it don't Gcome backD
