when he left, he showed up at my door
different than he was before
I was scared, and he was way off track
I thought he wasn't coming back
he told me, people were out after him
and talked of places that he'd never been,
on a mission, and sworn to secrecy
different than he used to be.

(chorus)
back, back, and we're glad he's back, on track!!
It's good to have him back, he's back
back, back, and we're glad he's back, on track!!
It's good to have him back, he's back

when he was gone, he slept out on my couch
In the daytime he was always out
I never knew where he went
or how his afternoons were spent
he said he had to slay a dragon
kill a giant, fix a wagon
wage a war, feed the world, and stamp out sin
in the daytime he was never in

(chorus)

I'm a freight train baby don't give me no sidetrack, no!
I want your main line baby!
climb aboard the Eden Express!
this train is coming through!
this train is bound for glory!
this train, this, train is comig through!
this train is bound for glory!

when he left, he showed up at my door
different then he was before
I was scared and he was way off track
I thought he wasn't coming back
when he came back, he showed up at my door
different than he was before
I was geared 'cause he was back on track
it's good to have y old friend back

(chorus
