Hit Me Like A Train Lyrics


I have visions, I have visions of a happy land
And in this happy land, happy land
There is still one unhappy man
Because of all the things he wants
There is always something he can't have
It's like a siren singing, like the church bell ringing
I can feel you winning and my head starts spinning
Now I'm back at the beginning
I, I, I see you lying there
And I, I, I felt a wave come over me
And I, I, I, I thought I had escaped you
As I sat down by the roadside
And it hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
It hit me like a long, slow train
It is written, I know it's written
All God's children get smitten

And if there's anyone, anybody
I know the Lord, can fit that description
And if I could turn back the hands of time
Still I wouldn't know what I'm supposed to change
It's like a well gone dry, like a kiss goodbye
And as the grip gets tighter, I continue to fight it
Then you strike me with your lightning
I, I, I woke up in a cold sweat
And I, I, I thought I heard you call my name
And I, I, I, I had to reach out for your fingers
And before I could call the doctor
And it hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
Swear you hit me like a long, slow train
Lord, you hit me like a train
Hit me like a coal train
When your love came down on me, yeah
Say hit me like a long, slow
Lord, I feel it coming down
I, I, I, I, ooh
I, I, I, oh Lord, have mercy on me
I can't hold out no longer
I was ready to surrender
And it hit me like a train, yeah
Hit me like a freight train
When your love came down on me, yeah
And it me like a long, slow train
Lord, you hit me like a train
Hit me like a soul train
When your love
When your love came down on me child
It hit me like a long slow
How long was it, long train
Hit me like a coal train
Hit me child
When your love came down on me
When your love come down on me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
