Lyin awake at night
Thinkin about my life
Train rumblin thru our town
Walls shake like theyre coming down
You sleep like nothings wrong
You dont know tomorrow Im gone
You dont hear the whistles sad cry
You dont see the tears in my eyes
Chorus:
I wish I were a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime move ahead or go back
But I cant go back and face the pain
So I lie here and wish I were a train
Baby once we had it all
This aint nobodys fault
Seems like everything changed
Love just up and moved away
Chorus:
On a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime move ahead or go back
But I cant go back and face the pain
So I lie here and wish I were a train
Repeat Chorus
