Well he got on a train at a really young age

Ain't seen the sun since that fateful day

Got a on a train at the age of 18

You should have seen just what he seen



A long car train where there ain't no stops

Taking a ride but you can't get off

Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks

Once you get on board that mainline train

There ain't no coming back

You used up your friends used up your cash

Get on the train and man your gonna crash

Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks



Well you lied to your friends about all your pain

Said that you'd never get on that train

Look for a distant town and now

you're never coming down from



A long car train where there ain't no stops

Taking a ride but you can't get off

Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks

Once you get on board that mainline train

There ain't no coming back

You used up your friends used up your cash

Get on the train and man your gonna crash

Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks



I saw your mama just the other day

She said that you had passed away

The train derailed right off the track

And now we know you're never coming back from



A long car train where there ain't no stops

Taking a ride but you can't get off

Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks

Once you get on board that mainline train

There ain't no coming back

You used up your friends used up your cash

Get on the train and man your gonna crash

Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks
