Running for My Life

Riding the night train, New York, to LA
Gonna go and get me some sunshine
Clipping along t’ward the Colorado Rockies
Leaving you behind me
There’s a cold icy wind blowing like a demon
Off Lake Michigan
I’m going where the weather is warm and the heat off
You burned me out and you did me in
You beat me at the game
I can not win
I’m going where the pace is slower
The stakes are lower
I’m running for my life
Tomorrow I’ll wake up without you
I’ll curl my hair, and listen to my heart
I don’t want to hear a word about you
I’ll do what I care to do
I’ll do what I dare to do
I’m running for my life
I can see the switch man out in the freight yard
Waving his lights at my train
Red fir stopping my heart from beating
Green for driving me insane
And the rain is pouring
And the wheels are rolling past that Nevada line
I’m going where the weather is hot
And you are not
I played the fool I believed your lies
I danced till I was nearly paralyzed
I’m gone and going
I’m running for my life
Tomorrow I’ll wake up without you
I’ll get a room with windows on the sea
I’ll do all the things I could never do
You never will find me here
Not a thing to remind me here
I’m running for my life
Sky’s getting bright with California sunrise
Shining its light on my train
Drying my tears soothing my fears
Taking away my old pain
And the engine’s rockin' and the wheels are talkin'
About the tracks ahead
I’m going where the world is new and the past is dead
You brought me low and you got me high
I’m leaving you with my bridges burning
There’s no returning
I’m running for my life
I’m running for me life
