Fever train, staggerin’ down
These tracks scorched black
Fever train, once it’s gone
It ain’t ever coming back
Runaway railroad car,
Run away with my heart.
Run away, fever train.
Stake your claim, place your ties
Where they’re held down by bands of steel.
You changed your name. One day you’ll know it
Then you’ll throw it under screaming wheels.
Runaway railroad car,
Run away with my heart.
Run away, fever train.
Leaves will yield to the wind’s
Whispered story of moving on
And in the field, the dying ember
Of a golden empire of dawn
