Train Wreck
Marlee Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's the kinda girl you meet over coffee at the church social
You thank the Lord for your luck beggin' just to bring you closer
Then you take her to a fine restaurant and you buy the girl a drink
Next thing you know she's all Coyote Ugly
Bumpin' and grindin' on the bar like Madonna or Pink
She's a noose around your neck
She's the kinda girl you don't take home to mama
She's the girl you say you want but then you wanna
Get off the train, the train wreck
She said she grew up on a farm so you take her to the country
You were picturin' a picnic, she was thinkin' somethin' more funky
So you say, whoa whoa, hold on now
Cause you don't wanna be her baby daddy, so you drive off in a cloud of dust
She's a train wreck
She's a noose around your neck
She's the kinda girl you never give your number to
Your name or home address or she will come for you
Get off the train, the train wreck
That girl is just a train, she's a train wreck
She's a train wreck, she's a wreck baby
She's a train wreck
That girl's a noose around your neck
You tell all your friends it's over, she's a goner
Cause you never can admit how much you want her, you want her, you want her
Get off the train, the train wreck
That girl is just a train, she's a train wreck
She's a train wreck, she's a wreck baby
Fishnet stocking and the high-heeled shoes
Boy you can admit she's got a hold of you
Blaze a laser from her big blue eyes
Better watch your back she's tellin' lies, she's tellin' lies...
And that ain't even true
She's a train, a train wreck
That girl is just a train, she's a train wreck
She's a train wreck, she's a wreck baby
"Train Wreck" by Marlee Scott featuring Vince Gill is a song about a woman who is unpredictable and unreliable. The song describes her as the kind of girl who seems innocent and pure, but she turns out to be a disaster waiting to happen once you get to know her. The lyrics depict various situations in which the singer attempts to get to know her better, but she constantly disappoints him with her wild behavior. The woman is described as a "train wreck," a metaphor for a catastrophic event that cannot be anticipated or controlled.
The song's chorus speaks to the man's frustration with the woman's behavior. He acknowledges that she is a noose around his neck, but he still cannot resist her. The woman is dangerous, and he knows it, but he cannot help himself. The song speaks to the universal experience of being drawn to someone who you know is bad for you, but you cannot avoid them.
