We're on a train and we're headed somewhere better for the both of us
And if the train is just a metaphor, well, it still beats taking the bus
I took a trip on a sailing ship, I was trying not to break on the shore
Lady luck came knocking once, but I couldn't even open the door
Wherever we go (ooh ooh) remember the way home
Wherever we go (ooh ooh) remember the way home
I went walking with the devil
He had demons on the soles of his shoes
He said from top to bottom you're vicious and rotten
It's me who should be running with you!
We stole a car and we took it far
Just to see the wheels turn turn turn
Now take me someplace that I don't know
Let's go to mexico and burn! Burn! burn! burn!
Wherever we go (ooh ooh) remember the way home
Wherever we go (ooh ooh) remember the way home
You're always chasing the light boy
Turn and face and fight boy
Keep on chasing the light boy
This train is leaving when the whistle blows
Where she's headed nobody knows
Get on the bus with the rest of us, we're heading for the end of the line
Aw, honey don't you make no fuss or you can stick it where the sun don't shine
Wherever we go (ooh ooh) remember the way home
Wherever we go (ooh ooh) remember the way home
It's alright, it's alright if you go chasing the light
Just remember the way back baby
It's alright, it's alright if you been towing the line
Now you're taking the day back baby
It's alright, it's alright if you go chasing the light
Just remember the way back baby
It's alright, it's alright if you been towing the line?
Now you're taking the day back baby
Wherever we go (ooh ooh) remember the way home
Wherever we go (ooh ooh) remember the way home
It's alright, it's alright if you go chasing the light
Just remember the way back baby
It's alright, it's alright if you been towing the line
Now you're taking the day back baby
Now you're taking the day back baby
