Story Behind The Song

I wrote this while on vacation, watching people where we go on vacation always gives me inspiration.

Song Description

A girl met a guy in the least likely place and didn't think love would work. But now she is overtaken by her feelings for this guy. She's on a runaway train of love.

Lyrics

Runaway Train
By Ralinda Owens

Note: I am flexible and willing to change any part of the song to meet your criteria;
please, give it a chance.

Verse 1
I was lookin? away through a haze of pain ? a sea of shattered glass
I didn?t expect to ever love again ? but it just happened so fast
I met you through a friend from work ? I didn?t want this dance
I didn?t feel that click in my head ? but thought I?d give you a chance.

We?d go walking and then start talking ? ?bout nothing and everything
Funny we had a lot in common ? from music to ice cream
You opened my doors, pulled out my chair ? treated me like a queen
And I never knew there was someone like you ?
Who could make my heart ?ping-ping?
(Chorus)
I?m on a runaway train, since I got on board
The wheels of love keep turnin? and burnin? ? and huffin? and puffin? for more
It?s steamy in the engine room and hot on the tracks that we?ve made
I love you, and I love this runaway train!
Verse 2
Now I?m looking at you in a field of green ? flowers and blue skies
You?re like a river flowing through my heart ? you fill my mornings and nights
I dread to think what would have happened ? if we had never been
I?m so glad we had this dance; and I?d do it all over again
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
These wheels keep turnin? and burnin,? turnin? and burnin?
turnin? and burnin? turnin? and burnin?
They?re turnin?
(Chorus)
