Run From the Lightning

“RUN FROM THE LIGHTNING”
Music & Lyrics by Linda Sussman © 2024

There’s a train on the loose
Runnin’ wild and fierce
What it’s bringing, you don’t wanna be near
Don’t stand in the way
If you don’t wanna get rolled
When the brakeman yells, “Clear the coast”

You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run run run run _ run

When the wheels are greased
The switch is thrown
What rolls and rumbles in the night alone
Is the weight of steel
With its heavy load
What it’s hiding lies way below

You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run run run run _ run

How many times
We’ve heard that whistle blow
Same bloody sound, heaven help their soul
When they round the bend
Like they own the whole damn track
That’s our cue we won’t be ridin’ back

You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run run run run _ run

You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run from the lightnin’
You gotta run run run run _ run
