Song Description

This is a song about one of lifes situations and how it is viewed differently between two headstrong people and how those opposing views are 'Two Trains Runnin' On The Same Stretch Of Track'. Be sure and listen all the way to the end as Marcie Allen delivers an amazing vocal rebutal to my vocal. If her scream at the beginning of the outro doesn't raise the hair on the back of your neck, You're Dead!!!!

Lyrics

Two Trains Runnin'
Verse 1

Lookin' for trouble as I walk the city streets
Watchin' the eyes of everyone I meet
So much to remember, but, I'm tryin' to forget
Got to keep movin', got to ease this cold sweat

Chorus

TWO TRAINS RUNNIN' on the same stretch of track
Each goin' nowhere, not a thought of lookin' back
My way or the highway, I think that's what she said
Danger, danger, collision's just ahead

Verse 2

At each and every corner I see her silhouette
I want to run and hold her, I know that she's upset
So many angery words were spoken in haste
I miss her flashing eyes, her touch and her taste, we're

Chorus

TWO TRAINS RUNNIN' on the same stretch of track
Each goin' nowhere, not a thought of lookin' back
My way or the highway, I think that's what she said
Danger, danger, collision's just ahead (INST)

Bridge

This rain won't stop fallin', I'm so cold and I'm wet
But, I've got to keep searchin', her face I can't forget
My mind starts to wander as I remember the past
I know that she's out there as I stare out through the glass

Verse 3

So, tell me, baby, can we agree to disagree
Things are confusin', they're not always what we see
Tell me now, baby, do you think that we can last
Can we save our love, can we forget about the past, cause we're

Chorus

TWO TRAINS RUNNIN' on the same stretch of track
Each goin' nowhere, not a thought of lookin' back
My way or the highway, I think that's what she said
Danger, danger, collision's just ahead

Outro

(Mmm, Mmm, Yeah, Yeah)
TWO TRAINS RUNNIN', (Do you think that I'm a fool?)
(Say, what?)
TWO TRAINS RUNNIN', (Well, man, you ain't so cool, no)
TWO TRAINS RUNNIN', (Tell me, do you care?)
(Baby, you know I do)
TWO TRAINS RUNNIN', (Are you with someone else somewhere)
(You know there's only you, baby)
TWO TRAINS RUNNIN', (Oh, you told me that you loved me)
(I do, I need you, baby)
TWO TRAINS RUNNIN', (You said that you'd be true, oh)
(Please, baby)
TWO TRAINS RUNNIN', (If we can't get together, I'll get over you)
