|
I climbed out my bedroom window
|
Shimmied down the tree
|
Under cover of the darkness
|
I crept on down the street
|
She is waiting for my signal
|
Hope her daddy doesn't hear
|
When she scrambles down the trellis
|
And we just up and disappear
|
|
I'll be waiting 'neath a streetlight all alone
|
Like a dog waits for a bone
|
Baby please don't let me down
|
I'm only trying to make you understand
|
Come on, baby take my hand
|
Only love and love alone can save us now
|
|
CHORUS
|
Oh Angie, can't you hear that whistle blow
|
Pack your bags it's time to go
|
Don't you think it's time we made our getaway
|
We'll ride the rails 'till morning comes around
|
Wake up in some other town
|
Where nobody knows our names
|
Run away with me and ride the midnight train
|
|
We discovered long ago
|
This town ain't big enough for two
|
Who refuse to dream in black and white
|
Like all the others do
|
I want to see them colors shine
|
Just like the stories I've been told
|
I want to follow that old rainbow
|
'Till we find that pot of gold
|
|
Oh Angie, don't you listen
|
When they tell you I'm insane
|
They're only trying to keep your heart up on the fence
|
'Cause the truth is it's the other way around
|
That's the problem with this town
|
I'm the only one who's talking any sense
|
|
Oh Angie, can't you hear the engine whine
|
As it rumbles down the line
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
Oh Angie, can't you hear that lonesome sound
|
Nothing else can stop us now
|
