Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Well, I sold my guitar for a diamond ring

 Yeah the preacher's daughter's got a thing for me

With all of our stuff in a pick up truck

 Yeah we're headed out west in a cloud of dust

Chorus

Runaway baby like a runaway train, like a

Train comin' off the tracks

Runaway baby like a runaway train

 Runaway and never look back

 Runaway and never look back

Verse 2

Well, it's a Vegas weddin' at the break of day

  By a magistrate dressed in blue suede

Lost all of our cash on a roll of the bones

  Had to pawn that ring just to get back home

Chorus

[Instumental Break]

Play the chorus, but the C-D-A just one time.

Verse 3

In a cheap motel on the county line

 Sneakin' back into town in the black of night

I heard the preacher screamin' through the motel door

 Yeah he's cursin' my soul in the name of the Lord

[Ending Chorus]

Runaway baby like a runaway train, like a

Train comin' off the tracks

Runaway baby like a runaway train

 Runaway and never look back

Runaway baby like a runaway train, like a

Train comin' off the tracks

Runaway baby like a runaway train

 Runaway and never look back

 Runaway and never look back

 Runaway and never look back
