From playing absolute rockabilly in the beginning, John Lindberg Trio have incorporated modern influences along the way and created a tougher sound, without losing the rockabilly style.
Combined with their tight and explosive live show, this made them one of Sweden’s most popular live acts.
John Lindberg Trio musical journey started with 13 year old John on stage with his guitar.
When Martin (double-bass) and Jocke (drums) joined later on, everything fell into place. In spite of their young age they are already widely experienced and have done more live gigs than most band do in a lifetime. The release of their debut album in 2006 was followed by a Christmas tour as supporting act for The Refreshments – and consistently became the band people talked about when the night was over. The two following albums were well received by their old fans and also generated lots of new. The band is now planning to release their fifth album in February 2011.
John Lindberg Trio journey continues, with no ending in sight.
RUNAWAY TRAIN
John Lindberg Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got my suitcase packed and i`m heading on town
My heart beates on
bumping like a runaway train
I tell my friends when I was in town
Gotta follow my dream, my hearts desire
My soul telled a song
running on this runnaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train never coming back again
I`m leaving this town for good
wooh-wooh yeah
wooh-wooh yeaah
My heart beats on
Bumping like a runaway train
Susan was a child
My prettiest drawn
Thinking of her, never looking back
Rock`n roll is on my life Isabell
Hey there mister won`t you step a side
Me and my babe she let nothing down
Cause a heart beets strong
Running to this crazy face
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train never coming back again
I`m leaving this town for good
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train never coming back again
I`m leaving this town for good
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train never coming back again
I`m leaving this town for good
wooh-wooh yeah
wooh-wooh yeaah
Cause my heart beet so
Bumping like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
(oh)
Like a runaway train
Like a runaway train never coming back again
I`m leaving this town for good
wooh-wooh yeah
wooh-wooh yeaah
Cause my heart beet so
Bumping like a runaway
My heart bet so
Bumping like a runaway
My heart beet so bumping like a runaway train
