Take a train

Bought a ticket in a transit station
Headed southbound for home
To take a look at my dear Mom and Papa
Show them their simple son
Take a listen...
Didn't know what I was headed back home for
All I knew it was time
When the train it pulled into the station
Far from a maddening crowd
Station master took out his gold locket
Just to check his time
People pushing to pick up their baggage
To take another line
Just take a train now
Be on time if you want to stay
You've got to take a train now, Mama
You know it's the only way
So now, if you get to wanna see your home, now
Just you get down on your knees
Listen to the birds that do surround you
Singing their sweet harmony
Buy your ticket from a Station Master
One-way ticket for home
Get along and kiss your troubles good-bye, now
It's time to get on board
Just take a train now
Be on time if you want to stay
You've got to take a train now, Mama
You know it's the only way
