Lyrics
Train Train Train
Someday I'm goin down to the station
Get me a ticket for far far away
Gonna leave behind everything I ever knew
And start all over with a brand new day hey hey
Some people say you can't get away
From your problem when your problem is you
Well now I won't argue that anymore
Cause I know that it is true
I just wanna see new faces
I wanna go to new places
Wanna climb a different mountain
Gonna find me a youthful fountain
Train train train take me away
Train train train take me today
Take me to my destiny
As long as the ride is free
Something is crying out from deep inside
It's time to go and just be free
Something is waiting down the line
I can hear the old lonesome wind whine
I just wanna see new faces
I wanna go to new places
Wanna climb a different mountain
Gonna find me a youthful fountain
Train train train take me away
Train train train take me today
Take me to my destiny
As long as the ride is free
James Hall Davis 1998
