  • my life is a shit and I want a ticket !

  • muito linda essa música,ouvi pela primeira vez e amei!

  • love this song it explains my life in one want to sing it on the xfactor

  • Beautiful song. Listened to this song for HOURS on end in my room when my mother and her asshole boyfriend were treating me like literal DIRT. I wanted to DIE. Nuff said. Really helped me cope with my terrible life at the time. Everything was useless. I wanted to just jump out my four story window, and if I didn't die, I planned to jump over the bridge and into the water...and just drown. The perfect death for a girl with a name Raina. Great vid. Thanks a lot.

  • @Sweetarts1011 Don't ever take your life away, life is to beautiful to give away.

    Some other people would do a murder to stay alive a couple of years more.

    Just live you life!

  • @Sweetarts1011 Is gonna be fine... U have amazing things coming in your life.. just be patient, and u will see... Breathe...

  • I believe the vocals on this song are by Dave Pirner but because I had always thought this was sung by Tom Petty I really struggled tracking it down. Confusingly Tom Petty sang a completely different song called Runaway Trains. What's the chances of that? Anyway, great song and I really relate to it, my life has definitely run the wrong way down the track!

  • Love the bass solo at 1:17.

    Thumbs up if you know what a bass is.

  • @corrda1993 its was like 2 sec >_>

  • @corrda1993 It's what you stand on when you play baseball HAR HAR HAR. lol

  • This is the perfect song when your feeling loved up. I heard my mum play it now I've got into it. Beautiful song :)

  • Best part is at 2:56

  • i use to listen to this song like crazy...

  • 32 people got mad because they didnt get the ticket for the runaway train. ;]

  • I first heard this song in a hotel room at Elms Hotel, Christchurch, New Zealand in Sep 1993. I can remember this because it is a very nice song that I can easily sing along.

  • one of the best song ever.

  • Classic song many thanks for the reminder 

  • 32 people went missing and nobody gave a shit.

  • 32 people never boarded the runaway train

  • @aqwkingchampion13 Shut the fuck up.

  • @SteakSalad Take your own advice

  • @aqwkingchampion13 Or I could type up bland, unoriginal "x people disliked this because..." comments like a fucking moron on youtube. Also, your original comment doesn't even make any sense, so go fuck yourself dipshit.

  • AWESOME. SONG. PERIOD.

  • the leads singer's voice sounds like Tom Petty to me so i could never find the song. Thanks.

  • Hey-ho bleekhorizon, what're you smokin'? Who f'n cares? I DO ! Everyone is someone,

    whelp. You have become jaded with that attitude......ah how sad. Yes, it WAS in capitals,

    and I won't argue with a blatant dupa. Beavis or Butthead? You are both, a paradox.

  • Memories... So refreshing to hear this song again after a decade.

  • Really good lyrics, this song has kind of 'a story'..

    If you hear modern songs...

  • VEVO suck, so hard.. Thanks uploader.

  • 31 people entitled to their opinion........ everyone is different, uh, or didn't you notice

    kazonie78. ?

  • Good lyrics version, altho one objection. One doesn't have to put the word blow torch

    in caps BLOW, it might sully the reader's idea and twist it. blow torch is indicated here

    as a bright torch of Light. jeez.....we know what the young man was singing about and

    didn't need impact with capital letters for the one word; Soul Asylum brings us the impact. Kapeesh?

  • @1550508

    a) it wasnt in capitals

    b) he/she was clearly fixing a mistake. it says slow underneath.

    c) who effin cares.

  • Soul Asylum is just AMAZING!

  • i love this song... i am happy, i have got a good family and friends :)

  • this song makes my cry

  • Scroll up because your missing epic lyrics ;D.

  • am runaway from the misery in my life here I come train take me to the promise land

  • could have swore this was by tom petty

  • @aerosmithjams43 it is, but Soul Aslyum redid it, and sound a lot like him. This version I think may be him....

  • This song is definitely on the right track :D

  • This song explains how I feel after my 3 year breakup. He broke up 5 months ago. I still feel so numb and used. he used me for 3 years.

  • I've chosen this video instead the vevo one

  • @holysumon Same here...at least this video doesn't play advertisments ♥♥

  • this song reminds me of my buddy, it was one of his favorites. he passed away recently. rip jimmy. oct 6 1990 - oct 30 2011

  • @andrew4edward

    Moj rođendan je 6.oktobra i ovo je moja omiljena pesma.

  • @trapapapapapapa what is

  • this son is beautiful.

  • so many songs about trains: runaway train, crazy train, night train. something about trains fascinates musicians. i guess because they are free but on track? they know where they are going with nothing to stop them?

  • @bigpowerfulpeople dont think this song is about a train listen to it....

  • This song has so much meaning to me, it was playing during a life changing event and the lyrics matched it all so perfectly, nsdjfndjkfg I'm gonna cry :'(

  • Ohh the 90's when there was good music, wish I could have been there, only got the last 3 years :(

  • This sounds like tom petty. Anyone else agree?

  • I was listening to this song and a kid got hit by a ford f150 outside my house the good thing is hes okay now

  • looks like 24 people dont get what this song is all about. in my opinion this is an amazing song thumbs up if you know what this song is about

  • I remember when this song came out thinking every line is a cliche. Well, I'm looking through these lyrics here, and this is too funny.

  • runaway train never goin back..

  • LoL I thought for the longest time that this was sung by bon jovi haha

  • @MrRobby0493 I thought so too.

  • 23 people don't know what is love!!!!! this song reminds at my life and i trying and trying to do better and better!!!!

  • My friend knows them....... They're really nice and she got them to come to school one day.... It was cool

  • @hearseluver16 i was wondering if they were still playin...

  • @prplfairee As far as I know! I'll ask her though to be sure!!

  • The great thing about music is that everyone can relate from their own experiences. What a song means to one person could mean something totally different to another. Dont play the compare game. I bet you have an ipod, or a cell phone or even yet a computer. And when something happens to prevent you from using it you get mad, you dont stop to think about the people that have nothing, my point is not to say you are wrong just that everyone can be hypocritical so dont be petty and judge others.

  • @pinkynthabrain1 hypocritical is not quite the right word a better one would be unappreciative ... non thankful .. why i said hypocritical is because everyone judges there is always going to be someone worse off then you ... dont be a hypocrite by telling someone to appreciate what they have when I am certain there are aspects of your life in which you are not.

  • Story of my life when I was between the ages of 11-15

  • fuck yea lick my balls betch ....

  • BieberBabyBopper, really? this is actually a song that means something, clearly you did not understand that. Don't ever tell people they need mental help. Review the lyrics and say something intelligent.

  • Always. sunny. in. Philadelphia.

  • @pigsooie333  F YEAH!! haha love that show

  • My life my marriage....

  • Gay as shit.

  • I have my own different "runaway train" story.

  • @19vrats89 "Runaway train" is a metaphor for drug abuse, so I hope your story isn't about that. This band is evil and you really shouldn't be listening to them.

  • @BieberBabyBopper no just no just just just shut the fuck up ok no one gives a shit if you think the band is evil!

  • @BieberBabyBopper It might be a metaphor, but this song isn't about that. Have you ever seen the official video? I think it makes more sense. then

  • guys, where did you get the notion that this is about drug addiction? just look at the official video and you see that it's about all the missing kids out there.

  • @FullyLoaded2010 it is about heroin addiction. the video was made that way 1. to make it playable on Mtv and 2. because the band wanted to give attention to runaways.

    look at the lyrics...

  • rich or poor we are human its natural to take our problems and dealing a pain no one can solve our problems instead our self can solve it.

  • LOVe This Song! My dad always sang it to me!

  • Hey,

    Correct me but I thought this song was to remember all the kids that gets abducted every year and still out there somewhere?

  • This song is about heroin addiction, or opiate addiction in general, which unfortunately the lead singer died of. Some of us can relate. These words sting to me in this very moment when I am not numb.

  • @TheChemicallyInduced - He did not die , he was an addict but did not die ...

  • 90's playlist wouldn't be the same without it....

  • Wow, this has been my favorite song since I was a child.

  • @DragonTattooGirlxx Go to hell slut 

  • @DeputyPiggy So when you kiss your mom with that mouth do you use your tongue?

    

  • @IdleDrifter Lol good one!

  • @DeputyPiggy That line will either defuse a fight or give you enough time to escape.

  • @IdleDrifter fuck off, how about that one, or mind your own fucking business. stupid fucking homo

  • @DeputyPiggy Awe, it's so angry. What's a matter little piggy never been given a hug? Mind my own business in an open comment section on a public internet site? You really need to think about what you just typed it makes it sense. I mean you take upon yourself to criticize MissOafish then turn around and tell people to fuck off. As for the homo thing psychiatrists call that Projection. So sleep tight little piggy don't let the big bad wolf blow your mind.

  • run away train.......

  • pls rate my protestsong 2011?

  • what's a slow torch? Get the lyrics right before you post em. Dumbass.

  • guitar chords: Intro: C Em Am G. then C Em Am G F G C Am F Em G :)

  • I thought this was a bon jovi song

  • hey above all to be where i am is very hard knowing that i drink and then i lose my mum to cancer with other problems that i have face in life both young and to present day and still i battle life i know life is not a walk in the park:.i wish it was but still i have to go on knowing that i have i have to take what life throws at me but i know this :DONT GIVE UP IT WILL BECOME ALOT BETTER all my love take care

  • I've wanted to runaway when i was kid. I was bullied really bad in elementary school and I couldnt take it anymore. I never had the guts to do it but i wanted to

  • awsome song

  • awsome song

  • 22 people were run over by the runnaway train

  • wow

    

  • @LilWayneMetalGod you know lil wayne is a wanna be little bitch right? first off theyre both completely different genres. second nirvana is not a wanna be jonas brothers since jonas brothers wasnt around in the 90s you dumbass. this song is not about fags. only someone nasty minded would think that from that verse. if anything you prolly put that just to add to the shit talking and then lil wayne is a fake. he doesnt know what the hood is like. and look up lil wayne gets punked. he's a bitch

  • Is this the guy that killed himself back in 1994? I love this song. I use to listen to is all the time especially when I thought about running away when I was 15.

  • @padussia No, this song is by Soul Asylum. You're talking about Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.

  • @emir0721 Okay. Thanks.

  • This song reminds me of the time when I was about to run away from home because me and my mom got into a fight.I thought I would never come back but something just made me stop and think to myself that it was a bad idea,so I turned back around and said sorry to my mom and stayed. Now i will remember that whenever I hear this song.

  • I looooooooooooove this song!

  • me and my dad fight a lot and sometimes when it gets downright terrible, I'm always really close to running away. but then I think of this song, and how much my dad loves this song too, & it makes me stop and think i love him too much to ever leave. this is an amazing song(:

  • @MissOafish Grow up, there are kids out there with no parents or houses to live in. They are starving to death, and you are complaining because you are fighting with your dad over something that he is probably right about!

  • @MissOafish think of how blessed you are to have a dad that cares about you! Most kids these days dont have that. Some dont even know who their dad is. Sounds like he just wants whats best for you and loves you enough to argue with you instead of just letting you do whatever you want. It is so much easier to just let kids do what they want without the fight. Sounds like he really loves you :)

  • @MissOafish WELL YOU MIGHT JUST BE B4 YOUR TIME HON... KEEP ON KEEPIN ON!!!!

  • @MissOafish Appreciate your dad every day. Mine died when I was 18. He won't live forever. Fathers are essential.

  • @MissOafish so true...I love my dad too...he took his life after my mom died of cancer...Do Not feel sorry for me...it was over 1o years ago....but after he killed himself...he was the runaway train...and could not cope ...if your father is still alive....give Him the biggest hug you ever can...peace and love to you!

  • @saramaewhat Lololol.

  • @saramaewhat Sorry for ur lost!

  • @saramaewhat My sweet , worry not, i hold my father so dear. All of my heart goes to you.

  • @saramaewhat 2 years ago.. i lost my 2 best freinds in iraq, i sor them die before me, died in my arms, we all have pain, and we all seen death in some plan, sent home course of mental break down, not long after i got home, my 3rd best freind, my last childhood freind died in a accident, for almost a year i didnt knew what to do, waved between life and suicide, a class mate from tech school saved me from almost comitting suicide, shes now my fiance, and im finally back on track, stay safe mate

  • @MissOafish this song reminds me of my father too he loved it and i love it.. even though hes an abusive alcoholic and i haven't had anything to do with him since i was 9 years old and i am now 22 this song makes me miss the days he was sober..

  • "Promised myself I wouldn't weep...one more promise I couldn't keep."

    Describes me so well.

  • Still good in the summer of 2012 :) yea Im a time traveler haha

  • @ItsCurtisDale what are your secrets >:o lol

  • Figures it would be someone with the name BieberBabyBopper causing a stir on here. Consider the name, and then the source, and then move on. Great song!!!

  • When this song and video were released it was a massive deal, never before had the faces of missing children been used in a music video. It was a hit in many different countries in each country a different video was used to accompany the song showing missing children from the country it was being shown in. The UK version of the video featured Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol, who each went missing in 1991. Their remains were found in 2007 at a house in Margate. Peter Tobin had murdered them.

  • @BieberBabyBopper

    How do you suggest they steal someone's soul?
