Hurry home
Freight train running
I've been gone
Too long, honey
Why did I waste away
The only good thing left to save me
Hurry home
Freight train running

She's alone
Got no money
(She's alone
She got no money
I'm coming home
I've done my running)
I'm coming home
No more running
Why now should I deny
The only true thing left inside me
Coming home
No more running

Well, I'm doing right
For once in my life now
I'm doing right
For once in my life now

No more running (he's doing right)
No more running (he's doing right)
I'm doing right, doing right
No more running (he's doing right)
No more running (he's doing right)
No more running

Rolling countries, fields unfolding
I swear the winds are calling
Rolling countries, fields unfolding
I swear the winds are calling

So I hurry home
No more running
She's all alone
She's got no money
(She's alone
She's got no money
I'm coming home
I've done my running)
Why should I go and hide
The only true thing left inside me
Hurry home
Freight train running

Well, I'm doing right
For once in my life now
I'm doing right
For once in my life now

No more running (he's doing right)
No more running (he's doing right)
I'm doing right, doing right
No more running (he's doing right)
No more running any more (he's doing right)
No more running
No more running (he's doing right)
I'm going home now (he's doing right)
I'm going home
No more running (he's doing right)
(he's doing right)
I'm doing right, I'm doing right (he's doing right)
(He's doing right)
(He's doing right)
No more running (he's doing right)
I'm doing right (he's doing right)
For once in my life
I'm doing right
I'm doing right
I'm doing right

​a-ha

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
