Lyin' awake at night
Thinkin' about my life
Train rumblin' thru our town
Walls shake like they're coming down.
You sleep like nothing's wrong
You don't know tomorrow I'm gone
You don't hear the whistle's sad cry
You don't see the tears in my eyes.
[Chorus:]
I wish I were a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime, move ahead or go back
But I can't go back and face the pain
So I lie here and wish I were a train.


Baby once we had it all
This ain't nobody's fault
Seems like everything changed
Love just up and moved away.
[Chorus:]
On a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime, move ahead or go back
But I can't go back and face the pain
So I lie here and wish I were a train.
[Chorus:]
I wish I were a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime, move ahead or go back
But I can't go back and face the pain
So I lie here and wish I were a train...
