Like a Moving Train

The day slipped away

Gone as quickly as it came

I was some place I could not stay

I shot through town like a moving train

Everyone I met was just another

Another one who left his home behind

All of us in search of what lay down their line

Only to find nothing new

Waiting there to see you through

Then all I lost and found seemed more or less the same

And kept me on my way

Like a moving train

Everywhere was the same

I got twisted like an open flame in a hurricane

Between an ocean and a desert

Running out of proof

Between the city and myself

Tryin to find some truth

Only to find there ain’t no truth

There’s only that which you choose

Then all I lost and found seemed more or less the same

And kept me on my way

Like a moving train

Till I had nowhere to go

Every place, I could not stay

I left with no way to know

Know whether my debt be hell to pay

If I ever come back this way

So when that train comes around

It might pick you up or run you down

The less you take, the more is left to make it right

Even if it’s wrong and you hang on, it just might

Take you back to where you started out tonight

So I had to find out

Oh, I had to find out

I had to find myself a better way

And every place, I could not stay

Just slipped away

Like a moving train
