Lyrics

That Train

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.

There's no way that I could ever do the things it does

Cradle tons of gravel and the timbers all piled up

Be that as it may I still do wish that I could be-

Made of rivets made of steel,

And built for speed

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that free

Hang onto that track is all they'll ever ask of me

Smooth heavy wheels to roll me away

I wanna be that train

I'd get to see the mountains and the planes from coast to coast

Many might adore me but they wouldn't get too close

I'd never be that lonely 'cause my engine and caboose,

Wouldn't leave me, we'd be bound

Yeah, we'd be breakin' loose

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that free

Hang onto that track is all they'll ever ask of me

Smooth heavy wheels to roll me away

I wanna be that train

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that free

Hang onto that track is all they'll ever ask of me

Smooth heavy wheels to roll me away

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that...
