Life is like a runaway train Never knowing where it may lead The curves in the track can't slow us down For there's no way to adjust the speed The twists and turns are enlightening And some make a wonderful surprise While others are sorrow and heartache Just broken promises and lies Though we've never seen the conductor Our tickets have already been taken We take our seats and close our eyes But we never get used to the shakin' Though we have no sure destination We marvel at every turn The scenery we see, is pure destiny As we ponder the things that we learn This runaway train that we call life Rides on the tracks of time And just when we think it will last forever We reach the end of the line.
