I can hear that whistle, now it won't be long
chugging up the hill as it's comin' along
Got it in my sight, comin' round the bend
can't miss this train, it ain't comin' again

I gotta reach on out, I gotta grab a' hold
to catch that train while it's movin' slow
If I don't act now, I'm left standing here
Better get onboard while my chance is here

Don't stand there staring at your toes
Don't you wait too long, the train will soon be gone
Don't get left behind, stranded in the cold
Gotta catch a ride to find out where she goes

Now I've taken a seat and the tracks are clear
I ain't lookin' back, 'cause the past ain't here
And where she goes, I don't really know
but  I'm awfully glad I didn't miss this show

Don't stand there staring at your toes
Don't you wait too long, the train will soon be gone
Don't get left behind, stranded in the cold
Gotta catch a ride to find out where she goes

I'm gonna let that train take me on down the road
I'm gonna take that ride and find out where she goes
I'm gonna let that train take me on down the road
I'm gonna catch that ride and find out where she goes
I'm gonna let that train take me on down the road
I'm gonna take that ride and find out where she goes

Gonna let that train take me on down the road
Gonna let that train take me on down the road

Gonna let that train.......take me on..................
Down............................the.............road...........
