I am on my way on a train

steaming along in the rain

from the life I lived before.

I have a tear in my eye 

sometimes it's easy to cry

though I'm not a child anymore.



Can't stop the train from a rollin 

or make the wheels turn slow 

you know I had to go.

Can't stop the train from a rollin

and neither snow or rain

can get me back again.



I am on the run from my home

somehow I'll make it alone 

if I'm strong enough today.

You know I had to go along, oh

pray for me while I am all gone

think of me sometime anyway.



Can't stop the train from a rollin

and neither snow or rain

can get me back again.
