The Getaway (Lonesome Train)

Every time I hear that lonesome train roll down the track Going away to unknown destinations I believe there's someone out there making the great escape Just moving on, suddenly gone and so unexpectedly It might hit you on a sunny afternoon Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you And it's a shadow on a sidewalk, someone like you In a blink of an eye, waving goodbye It's time you made your getaway In a suburb somewhere someone's quietly planning their getaway Traveling light, in case they might get a change of heart It's the bravest move they'll ever make, but they have to make the break That's the risk that they take, so don't hesitate, then so unexpectedly It might hit you on a sunny afternoon Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you And it's a shadow on the sidewalk, someone you knew It's time you made your getaway It might hit you on a sunny afternoon Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you And it's a shadow on the sidewalk, someone like you It's time you made your getaway You'll make the great escape Get out that door before it's too late Hear that lonesome train The lonesome train
