Songtext von Southbound Train

Young couple, seventeen So in love, swept off their feet Parents fought it they did not approve Said they're too young they're gonna lose One day he got on his knee He said I know we're young, but would you marry me? One night by the light of the moon She climbed out of her window And they ran away together on a southbound train Said their vows by the light of day Time was all they had on their side And the train rolled on into the night She didn't have a wedding gown, she didn't have a ring But he was all she'd ever need Into the night they snuck away And they got married the next day They stayed together until they were old & gray Ever since 1922 when they ran away
