This Train

This train hugs the track
It’s made it all the way to hell and back
Yeah, this train
This train’s gone so far
You’re never really quite sure where you are
On this train
This train, forged in hope
And fashioned by desire
With an engine running true
Should anyone inquire
When all else falls away
The one thing that remains
Is this train, oh yeah
Take it, ladies (This train)
This train keeps rolling on
Through so many riders come and gone
Yeah, this train (This train)
Yeah, just when you think it might be done
A new adventure’s just begun
On this train (This train)
If you need a break
From all the pressure that you’re under
On a ride fueled with fame
And powered by a hunger
I can’t take the kind of life
Where every day’s the same
On this train (This train)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, sometimes late at night
I wonder if I made the right decision
Then I always tell myself
No way I’d follow someone else’s vision
Towards a collision
Lord, with this train
Oh, yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
When I was a young boy, way down South
I used to hop the train by my momma’s house, yeah
Mmm!
It was there and then I began to know
That there wasn’t anywhere I could not go
On this train (This train)
So, when you feel your mind
Is always mired in confusion
When those in charge would keep us
Chasing their illusions
When all else falls away
The one thing that remains
Lord, is this train
Woo
This train, yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woo woo
This train
Ow
