He had such a short attention span
He was born with restlessness in his soul
She was well aware from the moment it began
This rollin stone would have to go
Who can blame him
If he's true to his hearts desire
Who can blame him
If he can't put out the fire
Who can blame him
If his feet were meant to run
If he likes the morning sun upon his back
Well you might as well blame the freight train
For loving the railroad track

She could see the sparkle disappear
As things came familiar to his eyes
She could sense time was drawin near
When you want it to stop
Its funny how time flies

Who can blame him
If he's true to his hearts desire
Who can blame him
If he can't put out the fire
Who can blame him
If his feet were meant to run
If he likes the morning sun upon his back
Well you might as well blame the freight train
For loving the railroad track

Now he'll keep her memory near his heart
But he'll keep his conscious clean
Cause he told no lies and she knew right from the start
He could never be tied to a Nine to Five routine

Now we all have our addictions
And wonder lust is one
Some cherish their restrictions
They stop and stare but he liked movin on

Who can blame him
If he's true to his hearts desire
Who can blame him
If he can't put out the fire
Who can blame him
If his feet were meant to run
If he likes the morning sun upon his back
Well you might as well blame the freight train
For loving the railroad track

Well you might as well blame the freight train
For loving the railroad track
