Life Off Track by Gloria Buono-Daly © 2025

(Intro)

Cold rails hum, no turning back,

Journey begins — life off track...

(Verse 1)

Tracks of iron hum life’s beat below

Rolling deep where the lost dreams go.

Midnight eyes and morning blues,

Riders turn blue reading the news

Strangers leaning, hearts on pause,

Love and loss without applause.

Rise Locomotion, Rise, we still train.

Woo woo, choo choo, life off track

(Pre-Chorus)

Some hold on, some let go,

Every mile’s got a story to show.

Not just passing scenes,

We’re chasing more than in-betweens,,,

(Chorus)

Woo woo, choo choo, life off track,

Finding ways to get back.

Click-clack rhythm, twists and turns,

Lessons learned as passion yearns.

Woo woo, choo choo, don’t lose pace,

This train’s a mirror, time and grace.

Every journey, loss or bliss —

It all leads back to this…

(Verse 2)

Headphones on, heart off guard,

Text unsent, hitting hard.

Old man hums a gospel tune,

A baby sleeps beneath the moon.

Rain taps soft on the windowpane,

Rust on fences, weathered grace,

Still standing, holding place.

Life Off Track, we still train…

(Pre-Chorus)

Missed connections, love delayed…

Dreams rerouted, plans replayed…

But somehow we still know

These tracks will take us back home…

(Chorus)

Woo woo, choo choo, life off track,

Finding ways to get back.

Click-clack rhythm, twists and turns,

Lessons learned as passion yearns.

Woo woo, choo choo, don’t lose pace,

This train’s a mirror, time and grace.

Every journey, loss or bliss —

It all leads back to this.

(Bridge)

So many stops, we ache, we mend,

But trains don’t break — they bend.

We're carried by the groove we make,

Every turn, every breath we take…

Life off track…

Woo woo, choo choo...life off track...

Wooo…..

(Bridge)

Woo woo, choo choo, feel that sound

Woo woo, choo choo, feel it’s heartbeat pound 

Woo woo,

(Final Chorus)

Woo woo, choo choo, hearts align…

Tracks of hope and love divine.

This ride’s a prayer we never lack —

We keep movin’... right on track.

Woo woo, choo choo, let it play,

The rhythm of a brand new day.

We don't just pass — we live, we kiss —

It all comes down to this.

Life off track, we still train…

Woo woo, choo choo...life off track...

(instrumental fade out)

Woo woo, choo choo...life off track...

Woo woo, choo choo...life off track...

But somehow right on track

(end of song)
