(Alan Rhody/Jon Vezner) I see it all so clear as I'm looking back I was heading down the wrong way on a one-way track There must be a million chances that a fool could take This fool took every one and never hit the brakes Now I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash My heart still pounding from the impact of the crash I can see tomorrow's headlines "Heartbroke from blind devotion" Just another victim of a Trainwreak of emotion We were burning like a furnace as she poured on the coal Drive wheel churning,I mean love was in a roll Faster and faster I swear we left the ground But when the smoke had cleared she was nowhere around Now I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash My heart still pounding from the impact of the crash I can see tomorrow's headlines "Heartbroke from blind devotion" Just another victim of a Trainwreak of emotion The rumors are flying 'bout how our love could fall But I know it was her that pulled the switch And left me derailed Now I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash My heart still pounding from the impact of the crash I can see tomorrow's headlines "Heartbroke from blind devotion" Just another victim of a Trainwreak of emotion Trainwreak of emotion
