This song was a hit during the year 1992 and truth be told I was 7 years old at that time. Our next door neighbor has 3 sons whose youngest was 10 years older than I am and they had this song playing every now and then at full volume. The song's entitled Runaway Train by Soul Asylum
Runaway Train by Soul Asylum
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blow torch burnin'
I was a key that could use a little turnin'
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
[Chorus]
Runaway train never goin back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
And Everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
[Chorus]
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little outta touch, little insane
Just easier than dealin with the pain
[Chorus]
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
I runaway but it always seems the same
