Verse

She was a blue haired punk rock princess
Dreaming she could fly away
& slip the chains of boredom
That monotone day to day

Packed a bag for the Amtrak station
Eastbound New York, number 49
On a fourth of July weekend
Gonna see the sights / gonna loose her mind

PreChorus

She’s chasing her demons
She thinks that she’s leaving them all behind
To find another place to be free

She’s got no good reasons
She’s stuck in between
The devil & the deep blue sea

Verse

Found a blue eyed teenaged devil
With his boots upon his seat
So she listened to the same sad song
Sixty-one times- till he began to speak

He said he traveled her great nation
California to the Lake Shore line
& as the sun set over South Bend
They had an all-night conversation / made a life of their time

PreChorus

He’s chasing his demons
He thinks that he’s leaving them all behind
To find another place to be free

He’s got no good reasons He’s stuck in between
The devil & the deep blue sea

Chorus

The train kept winding through the smokey black night
& the two of them kept talking / held each other tightly
The sun set on the river
& they were falling & falling & falling
The clouds parted ways; it began to shower
Nine-hundred sixy-nine miles in forty-six hours
Now every time they here that same old song

PreChorus

They’re chasing their demons
They think that they’re leaving them all behind
To find another place to be free

They’ve got no good reasons
Their just stuck in between
The devil & the deep blue sea
