Everytime I hear that whistle whine From a lonesome locomotive comin' down the line It carries my mind away to another place in time When train travelin' across the land was the only way to fly Am I a fool to think it glamorous Box-carrin' like a hobo, it must have been rough But a simpler way of life is what it really means to me When we weren't so dependent on money to bee free I hear you train, are you travelin' my way Won't you let me ride your rails right back to yesterday Who knows what I could see from that old time machine But there you go again train travelin' There you go again train travelin' I'm lyin' on a rotten wooden floor Smell yesterday's whiskey here rattlin' at the door Railroad man lookin' for me I'm scared as I can be I open my eyes and realize its just another dream I hear you train, are you travelin' my way Won't you let me ride your rails right back to yesterday Who knows what I could see from that old time machine But there you go again train travelin' There you go again train travelin' There you go again train travelin'
