Tonight I'm leavin' on the midnight train.
To stay would be to leave a lie.
I'm stingin' from the fire of your farewell kiss.
Disappointment in your eyes.

I left you in the rain.
So I wouldn't see you cry.
I can't escape the pain.
When it's you that I want,
But I can't tie my love down inside.

I got a rebel heart.
I gotta run and it's tearing me apart.
I got a rebel heart.
And as long as it's beating,
It's always breaking.

Tomorrow I'll be far away from here.
Not far enough to ease the pain.
Will you leave a light on in the night for me.
Will I jump this midnight train?

I'm standing in the rain.
So no one can see me cry.
Cuz nothing can change
The will of this cold wind inside.

I got a rebel heart.
I gotta run and it's tearing me apart.
I got a rebel heart.
And as long as it's beating,
It's always breaking.

I left you in the rain.
So I wouldn't' see you cry.
I can't escape the pain.
When it's you that I want.
But I can't tie my love down inside.

I got a rebel heart.
I gotta run and it's tearing me apart.
I got a rebel heart.
And as long as it's beating.
It's always breaking.

I got a rebel heart.
I gotta run and it's tearing me apart.
I got a rebel heart.
I got a rebel heart.
I got a rebel heart.
