I Always Take a Train

As long as I'm goin' the wind's always blowin'
Across the leafless desert of my mind
Give me prairie rails and crossties my troubles I'll say goodbye
And I'll show you how I'll leave 'em all behind
I'll leave here in a hurry I never could stand worry
And there's only one way I can clear my brain
Some people take a drink to help them to forget
But I always really always take a train
With the world outside flyin' past my window
And a whistle blowin' for a town ahead
Got my troubles off my back I'll leave 'em layin' on the track
Along with that goodbye that was said
The big wheels keep turnin' while my memory I'm burnin'
Of that someone I left standin' in the rain
Some people take a drink to help them to forget
But I always nearly always take a train
With the world outside flyin' past my window...
