About This Song


This is my first demo for 2020, and I could not be more pleased. I wrote this to pitch to artists such as Dierks Bentley and Brothers Osbourne.

Good song. Good melody. Good message.
Really nice chord change and melody on that second line of the chorus. That hooked me in good.
Killer sounding demo. I am jealous of that demo.
Great job.

Whether a regular sinner, or considered a saint
Or live in between temptation and restraint
Only you know what you are and what you ain’t
This ride through life can be like a runaway train

It’ll travel faster with every passin’ year

There’s no brake to pull so you gotta learn to steer

It’ll test your faith to arrive on time not late

This ride through life can be like a runaway train



The speed of life makes it all a short ride

And the ticket’s only good one-way, one-time

You’re judged by how you live not how you explain

The ride you take through life on the runaway train

Every scar and mark just proves that you’re alive

As a testament to your power to survive

Cause at the start that end looks further away 

This ride through life can be like a runaway train 



The speed of life makes it all a short ride

And the ticket’s only good one-way, one-time

You’re judged by how you live not how you explain

The ride you take through life on the runaway train

What I’ve learned about this ride - from travelers come and gone

Is no matter how you live it - the train will still roll on

The speed of life makes it all a short ride

And the ticket’s only good one-way, one-time

You’re judged by how you live not how you explain

The ride you take through life on the runaway train

At this age I know what I am and I ain’t
That’s how you get this far through life on the runaway train
