He had such a short attention span

He was born with restlessness in his soul

She was well aware from the moment it began

This rollin stone would have to go

Who can blame him

If he's true to his hearts desire

Who can blame him

If he can't put out the fire

Who can blame him

If his feet were meant to run

If he likes the morning sun upon his back

Well you might as well blame the freight train 

For loving the railroad track



She could see the sparkle disappear 

As things came familiar to his eyes

She could sense time was drawin near

When you want it to stop 

Its funny how time flies



Who can blame him

If he's true to his hearts desire

Who can blame him

If he can't put out the fire

Who can blame him

If his feet were meant to run

If he likes the morning sun upon his back

Well you might as well blame the freight train 

For loving the railroad track



Now he'll keep her memory near his heart

But he'll keep his conscious clean

Cause he told no lies and she knew right from the start

He could never be tied to a Nine to Five routine



Now we all have our addictions 

And wonder lust is one

Some cherish their restrictions 

They stop and stare but he liked movin on



Who can blame him

If he's true to his hearts desire

Who can blame him

If he can't put out the fire

Who can blame him

If his feet were meant to run

If he likes the morning sun upon his back

Well you might as well blame the freight train 

For loving the railroad track



Well you might as well blame the freight train 

For loving the railroad track
