[Verse 1]
[A]Well, I sold my guitar for a diamond ring
Yeah the [C]preacher's daughter's got a [D]thing for [A]me
[A]With all of our stuff in a pick up truck
Yeah we're [C]headed out west in a [D]cloud of [A]dust

[Chorus]
[G]Runaway [D]baby like a [A]runaway train, like a
[G]Train comin' [D]off the [A]tracks
[G]Runaway [D]baby like a [A]runaway train
Runa[C]way and [D]never look [A]back
Runa[C]way and [D]never look [A]back

[Verse 2]
[A]Well, it's a Vegas weddin' at the break of day
By a [C]magistrate dressed [D]in blue [A]suede
[A]Lost all of our cash on a roll of the bones
Had to [C]pawn that ring just to [D]get back [A]home

[Chorus]

[Instumental Break]
Play the chorus, but the C-D-A just one time.

[Verse 3]
[A]In a cheap motel on the county line
Sneakin' [C]back into town in the [D]black of [A]night
[A]I heard the preacher screamin' through the motel door
Yeah he's[C] cursin' my soul in the n[D]ame of the [A]Lord

[Ending Chorus]
[G]Runaway [D]baby like a [A]runaway train, like a
[G]Train comin' [D]off the [A]tracks
[G]Runaway [D]baby like a [A]runaway train
Runa[C]way and [D]never look [A]back

[G]Runaway [D]baby like a [A]runaway train, like a
[G]Train comin' [D]off the [A]tracks
[G]Runaway [D]baby like a [A]runaway train
Runa[C]way and [D]never look [A]back
Runa[C]way and [D]never look [A]back
Runa[C]way and [D]never look [A]back
