Little Lucy had
Grown quite tall
We said to her take it slow
The turnstiles turn
The dress that didn't
Hang quite so slow
It didn't hang quite so low

She'd hang around the railway tracks
Watching the trains go by
She got on a long red train and the one
On the platform waved bye bye
The one
Waved bye bye
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
Hey!
Not that way
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
She's runaway train

Well

We'd tried to find which route she took
Or if she's coming back
No trace of her anywhere we looked
Ask the weeds along the track
Ask the weeds along the track
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
Hey!
Not that way
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
She's runaway train
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
Hey!
Not that way
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
She's runaway train

We said to her
Take it slower
She said, I can't, I got to go
I got to go go
I got to go go
I got to go go
I got to go go

Look out!

She goes on never stopping
The wind now drives her along
The road she travels, on & on
There's always a wind a-blowing
There's always a wind a-blowing
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
Hey!
Not that way
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
She's runaway train
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
Hey!
Not that way
She's just a girl
Not a bad girl
She's runaway train

She's a runaway train
She's a runaway train
She's a runaway train
