Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blow torch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise I couldn't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep There's no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And everything seems cut and dry Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain Little out of touch, little insane It's just easier than dealing with the pain Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Runaway train never comin' back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems the same

A canção projetou o Soul Asylum aoStatus internacional e foi fundamental para que o álbum Grave Dancers Union alcançasse a certificação multi-platina.
Foi o terceiro single extraído do álbum e chegou a ocupar a 5ª posição na parada da Billboard.
Em 1994, a faixa recebeu um Grammy Award na categoria de melhor canção de rock.
Tornou-se tão identificada com o grupo que muitos passaram a acreditar que era o seu único sucesso, levando a sociedade a classificar o Soul Asylum como uma banda "one-hit wonder".
Essa classificação foi desmentida quando o hit de 1995, "Misery", também entrou no Top 40 de vários países, incluindo EUA e Reino Unido, provando que a banda não tinha apenas um sucesso.
A música continua recebendo muita projeção nas rádios hoje em dia, e os locutores frequentemente fazem menção ao videoclipe influente que a acompanhou.
