Train Of Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I sit alone at my table
And watch all the others have fun
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.
I'm tired of havin' no future
Just livin' on things that I've done
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.
Train, train don't leave me, oh, train of life.
I got no one to call me their darling
to hug me and call me their hon
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
Just a watchin' the mainline run.
I'm tired of havin' no future
Just livin' on things that I've done
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.
--- Instrumental ---
Train, train, don't leave me, oh, train of life.
