Story Behind The Song

I always wanted to write a song based on an Elvis type guitar groove

Song Description

Short story of a fugitive that didn't need to run

Lyrics

He was twenty one and single it was Saturday night
He was standing on the corner when the boys began to fight
All he wanted was to mingle and to have a little fun
But things got out of hand and then he had to run
Nowhere to hide
He took a ride
On a fast train in the night

He was young and foolish so how was he to know
It was just a little rumble, not meant for heavy blows
But when he saw him lying there lifeless on the ground
A trembling voice said, "man you've got to leave this town"
Nowhere to hide
He took a ride
On a fast train in the night
Nowhere to hide
He took a ride on a fast train in the night

Now it's ten years later and he's never had a home
He's got a new identity that changes as he roams
It's been so hard running from his past and memories
Though he's never been to prison he would never be free
He was shooting pool one night in a West Virginia bar
When a stranger said, "hey buddy could you help me jump my car"
He knew right then and there when he looked into his eyes
That boy he thought had died was now a man and alive

No need to hide
But he took that ride
On a fast train in the night
No need to hide
But he took that ride
On a fast train in the night
