Song Description

A Rock 'n' Roll song about getting out!

Lyrics

Outbound Train

Words and Music by
John DiLeo



When your home town runs you down
and your mind is shot, you want to scream out loud
Hey baby, get right out of that rut
?cause I know what to do, it doesn?t cost too much
So come on and get away now
hear the track crackin? clackin? under the car
So come on and get away now
and leave your troubles right where they are

And jump on
on an outbound train
We?ll ride on, ride on
and never be the same

If you?re owing more than what you?ve got
or you?re out on the street and it?s getting too hot
maybe your baby left you to cry
or you can?t find no work, hey, neither could I
So come on and get away now
Leave your broken heart far behind
So come on and get away now
You may not have no money but you?re warm and dry

So jump on
on an outbound train
We?ll ride on, ride on
and never be the same

You know it doesn?t matter where you are
L.A., Boston or Baltimore
You run down and hop a train or an el
and take that baby straight out of God?s hell

So come on and get away now
pretty woman won?t you sit here by my side
So come on and get away now
and we can get free for just one night

And jump on
on an outbound train
We?ll ride on, ride on
and never be the same
