Run Away Train-Original ©.-2010 No mistakes,well not major ones

Music vid. coming. Picture a young couple having a heated discussion at his place of work. A gas station in a real small town. The type of town where a rail way runs though. She is carrying a suite case and has some paperwork in hand. A 57 cadillac pulls up to the pumps and the young man has to attend it.
At the same time a bus pulls up and the girl boards it. She has a seat and looks back at her boyfriend fueling the car. Pan to her paper work. Abortion literature. They are both tearing up as the bus pulls out.
This all takes about 15 seconds, the set up.
The lyrics start..."the chrome wasn't polished.......... As the boy is fueling he is looking over the car and he has a fantasy of him and his girl in the car and it's all good. He' rubbing her belly and there both happy. Just married sign on the back .Future of a house and kids.
The train is there in the distance tho. And forever drawing closer with clips.
When the lyrics repeat the caddy has been fueled up and back on the road( not fantasy) and catches up to and passes the bus. The young girl is crying and looking out the window and see's the car pass. Now it's her turn for a fantasy in and around the car. The boyfriend is not included. Or children or a house. Her's is of the car, a dog, guitar,lakes, honky tonks and freedom. The train is getting closer.
There is rain and thunder, flat tires............LIFE!
It's a race to the crossing......
This song will be sung as a duet, Boy/Girl perspective. Diff. dreams
The caddy represents freedom/escape, the train,burden/desperation and the crossing a deadline or finality.

@reddstewart Hi Sharon, I replyed to your earlier comment but placed it in the wrong spot as you can see.

Its just above this comment. Do you know if Kyle (your relation I presume) has been giv'n a guitar from his gramps? He /she ? was gonna ask him. Like to encourage music to the young, such a great gift.

Please keep me posted on progress.....Charlie

Thanks for taking the time to listen Sharon. So glad you like.

I noticed on your site, a post from a lad saying....."Thats my great Grampa"

I visited his site and encouraged him to pick up a guitar and try to learn...

I believe in the gene thing.........thanks again...Charlie
