No lazy river, no Sunday drive
No wading in a Blanco stream
Bullets shooting, lightning striking
No common sense of timing
Ever since you saw me you’ve been picking up speed

You’ve got a heart like a runaway train
Screaming down the mountainside
Burning like a fever that you can’t contain
Humming like the 405
Headed off the rails and you’re coming in fast
You’re ‘bout to hit me like a heart attack
Oh, you’ve got a heart like a runaway train

No drug store roses, no cheap champagne
Stuff I’d only throw away
Comets sailing, arrows flying
We’re roller coaster riding
Saying all the things that we shouldn’t say
But I gotta say

Oh, you’ve got a heart like a runaway train
Screaming down the mountainside
Burning like a fever that you can’t contain
Humming like the 405
Headed off the rails and you’re coming in fast
You’re ‘bout to hit me like a heart attack
Oh, you’ve got a heart like a runaway train

Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway

Oh, you’ve got a heart like a runaway train
Screaming down the mountainside
Burning like a fever that you can’t contain
Humming like the 405
Headed off the rails and you’re coming in fast
You’re ‘bout to hit me like a heart attack
Oh, you’ve got a heart like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
