Have you ever thought, "Hmm, I wonder if I could take all of the titles to Steve McQueen movies and turn them into a song?
No? Well, have no fear. I did it so you don't have to!:)
Lyrics below for you to follow along :)

You're Dixie Dynamite, ready to blow
I'm just An Enemy, Of the People
They'll call you Nevada, they'll call me Smith
They'll never see us coming, we'll disappear quick
 Like the Cincinnati Kid, if we play our cards right
                      "We'll make the right move at the right time"

Chorus:
If you Rob a Bank in St. Louis
We can make a Great Escape
In my Getaway car
Oh Baby, The Rain Must Fall
You're a Soldier In The Rain
And I'll never be the same

You're a cowboy, gangster, smooth-talking War Lover
Bite the Bullitt, Never Love a Stranger
You're The Hunter, and I'm the Reiver
And just like The Thomas Crown Affair, we'll get in over our heads
                   "But what else can you do on Sunday?"

Chorus:
You're Wanted Dead or Alive
Like Papillon, you're ready to fly
And we'll sail away on the Sand Pebbles of time
If you Rob a Bank in St. Louis
We can make a Great Escape
In my Getaway car
Oh Baby, The Rain Must Fall
Your a Soldier In The Rain
And I'll never be the same

Bridge:
They say Hell Is For Heroes, A Towering Inferno
But Never So Few have seen it up close
And just like the Magnificant Seven, we'll stand up for the ones who can't 
Oh oh

Chorus 2:
If you rob a bank in St. Louis
We can make a Great Escape
Ride hard like Junior Bonner
Keep your nerve like Tom Horn
You're Wanted Dead or Alive
Like Papillon, you're ready to fly
And we'll sail away on the Sand Pebbles of Time
Oh Baby, The Rain Must Fall
Your a Soldier In The Rain
And I'll never be the same

Never Love A Stranger

Riding low, nothing can hurt you now
Head down, nothing but the open road ahead
One man show with a fire in your eyes
Compassion's never suited you
Lay your head down
In the morning it's off to some place new

Chorus:
One more goodbye for the road
No one will ever find you
But you sing out at the top of your lungs
When you get that taste of open air going ninety on the highway
Nah-nah-nah
the road's the only love (home) you've ever known

Headlights in the middle of night
Answering to not a soul
Shoulder the wind that carries all regret
Feel it now and shrug it off
You're life's an empty page
They say

Chorus:
So one more goodbye for the road
No one will ever find you
So you sing out at the top of your lungs
When you get that taste of open air going ninety on the highway
Nah nah nah
the road's the only love (home) you've ever known

Bridge:
Leave your mark in the dust
Take your heart out on the road
They'll never know your name
Leave your mark in the dust
Run away with the setting sun
Drift around til you find your home

Chorus:
One more goodbye for the road
No one will ever find you
So you sing out at the top of your lungs
When you get that taste of open air going ninety on the highway
nah nah nah
the road's the only love (home) you've ever known
the road's the only love (home) you've ever known

Drifter

It's not fair the way you come around
Picking my feet up off the ground
It's not fair the way you drive me insane
Got me thinking crazy things like
Are you thinking about me tonight

It's not fair the way you say my name
Over the phone in the pouring rain
I don't know what you've been told
But I have no plans of letting you go

Chorus:
Say it say it, say it say it, again
Say it say it, say it say it, again
I don't know what you've been told
But I have no plans of letting you go
It's not fair the way you come around
and pick my feet up off the ground

It's so clear why I had to wait
All of the prayers said everyday
He answered them in every way
and I hope you like this dress of lace
I wore it for you today

I don't know why you chose me
all these flaws you should see the worst of me
But you know me better now and still you don't leave
when I frown

Say it say it, say it say it, again
Say it say it, say it say it, again
I don't know what you've been told
But I have no plans of letting you go
It's not fair the way you come around
and Pick my feet up off the ground
I don't know what you saw in me
but you love sweet and tenderly
by the grace of God
Your hand in mine

Say It Again

Train cars lining the tracks
What if we jumped on
Horizon in the distance
Watching the world fly by

What if we decided
Pack up our bags and never look back 
What if we decided
The past gone and the future is ours

Chorus
We're not runaways and we're not terrified of whats to come
That horizon is ours, something is calling out to us
With our bags packed and our hearts on our sleeves
We're running for the tracks and ready be us

Cameras ready to go
Chasing the storm ahead
If I said danger is near
I bet you'd just smile

What if we reminded ourselves
Greater is the one living in you and me
What if we reminded ourselves
Nothing can ever stop His love

Chorus
We're not runaways and we're not terrified of whats to come
That horizon is our, something is calling out to us
With our bags packed and our hearts on our sleeves
We're running for the tracks and ready to leave

Catching The Train

This is the first song I ever wrote. I remember sitting on my bed in the attic, putting music to the words I had written, only having recently gotten serious about playing the guitar. 
Sometimes we think another person showing interest in us is a sign. But sometimes that affection comes at the wrong time. And looking back, you realize you were the one that got away. And you're so happy you did.
~
His voice is deep, his body's tall, and that
Sense of humor says it all
Two years had passed, without any progress, when it came to me
I was sure he couldn't care less

We'd see each other across the room, but ever Sunday
The tension made the signals cross
I'd smile at you, but kept my heart in check
I had no idea what was coming

Chorus
I remember standing on the corner of Lake Avenue, with you
Under the lights, at night, with you
You can say what you want to but i still have to leave
And you're a little late to be askin me to stay

And that night before I was to leave
He spoke of feelings that he'd been hiding
Standing next to a pond that shimmered                  
I couldn't help thinking, why now?          
That's when he held my hand, looked me in the eyes
And said do you really have to go? 

Chorus
I remember standing on the corner of Lake Avenue, with you
Under the lights, at night, with you
You can say what you want to, but i still have to leave
And you're a little late to be asking me to stay
With you

Bridge:
Ive heard he's, been in town more than once but hasn't come to try and find me
He swore he would miss me, made me feel like the one that got away
I guess i really did get away

Chorus 2         
Under the lights, at night, with you
He can say what he wants to, i'll believe it when i see it
He's a little late to come and find me
He can try and call, he can try to stop in but I'm not waiting on Danny anymore
Standing on the corner of Lake Avenue
You can say what you want to, but i still have to leave
And you're a little late to be asking me to stay
