[Verse 1]
A
Well, I sold my guitar for a diamond ring
C D A
Yeah the preacher's daughter's got a thing for me
A
With all of our stuff in a pick up truck
C D A
Yeah we're headed out west in a cloud of dust
[Chorus]
G D A
Runaway baby like a runaway train, like a
G D A
Train comin' off the tracks
G D A
Runaway baby like a runaway train
C D A
Runaway and never look back
C D A
Runaway and never look back
[Verse 2]
A
Well, it's a Vegas weddin' at the break of day
C D A
By a magistrate dressed in blue suede
A
Lost all of our cash on a roll of the bones
C D A
Had to pawn that ring just to get back home

In a cheap motel on the county line

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