THE MAN ON THE TRAIN lyrics
by JOEL SATTLER

There's a man on the train a man on the train
who swears he'll never touch the land again
round and round and round he goes
from coast to coast to coast to coast

New York City is where he started
where he left all broken hearted
love is cruel love is blind
love is much more than unkind

Union Station is big as hell
outside hear St. John's bells
saying goodbye wishing you well
hope the next time time willl tell

the man on the train
is never getting off again
the man on the train
through wind and snow and rain
the same old story hard to explain

a bald headed eagle flew by the window
out on the Kansas plain
holding his heart in its claws
beyond all reason and laws

the sun came up once more
as he approached the Pacific shore
with the mountains at his back
and the dawn came up a crack

the man on the train
the man on the train
you can't go home
if your life's a stone

the man on the train
the man on the train
round and round and round again

when you've seen one America
you've seen them all
the Atlantic Ocean is like a wall
you'll never get over
you'll never get sober
as long at the bar is stocked and all

the coffee's bad and the food is worse
the sound of the wheels is like a curse
the odyssey is like nothing else
he can't debark, he doomed himself.

the man on the train the man on the train
is never getting off again
the man on the train
through wind and snow and rain
the same old story hard to explain
