I do hate to lose With another man's wife It's running just 'fore day She's all right, she's all right Well, now, there's two, there's two trains running Well, they ain't never, no, going my way Well, now, one run at midnight and the other one Running

It's not just a train It's saying goodbye, saying hello To where we have been, where we might go It's not just a train, it's freedom to me Freedom to me I can strum a little, I can hold a chord This ain't the gospel and I ain't the lord I'm no holy

And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour Its not waiting for you and neither am I One last thing I beg you please just before you go I've watched you fly on paper wings half
