Lyrics

The train she sings in the sound of your voice
Rocks and she rolls with that gentle train noise
I’d never have left if I had the choice
But I won’t come around no more

Past cities, through prairies, by stations and jails
I can’t take anymore of your old wives’ tales
The train she’s true to her long steel rails
And I was true to you

You went crazy once and decided to stay
I thought I could love you anyway
But you bought me a ticket and you sent me away
I won’t come around no more

I tied up my heart in the luggage rack
I’m gone now and I won’t come back
The train she’s true to her long steel track
And I was true to you

The train she sings like you sang long ago
To measure the seconds on earth here below
The train she’s true to her long steel road
And I was true to you
Yes, I was true to you
