A boy gets crazy when he's sittin' at the bar. Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him too far. Rotgut whiskey and homemade wine. Make a good country boy just lose his mind. Like a runaway train rollin' through the night the boy ain't got no fear. Like a race car hittin' the wall it gets hard to steer. Waitin' for the smoke to clear. oooh oooooh.... Betty got caught in the back of Bobby's car. Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Her Daddy blew a fuse and went for his gun. Now Bobby and Betty they're on the run. Like a runaway train rollin' throught the night nothin's gonna stop them now. Gotta keep on moving cover their tracks somehow. Like a runaway train rollin' through the night. The kids ain't got no fear. Daddy swears bang is the last sound Bobby's gonna hear Oooohhh.... Waitin' for the smoke to clear. Daddy finally caught 'em and he emptied his gun. Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun Oooohhh.... Good god almighty for heaven's sakes. Betty's Daddy turned out to be Jake. Like a runaway train rollin' through the night. Jake ain't got no fear. No hangman judge gonna give the boy 99 years. Here sits Jake in the back of this bar. Sippin' on an ice cold beer. If the law had a clue all they'd do is look right here. They'd see Jake. Waitin' for the smoke to clear .... Waitin' for.... Oooooooooooooh.....
