Wish I Was A Train |
| When I was a little boy I used to lie in my bed |
| And listen for the '9:09' |
| It never ran on Christmas or the day that Jesus died |
| But every other day it ran on time |
| It always made me lonesome but it brought me comfort |
| And what it did to me I can’t explain |
| And as I wonder through this harsh and gentle world |
| Oh every now and then I wish I was a train |
| Chrous |
| Roll on roll on into the dark night |
| Leavin' all my troubles behind |
| Carryin' my soul far far away |
| Oh every now and then |
| I wish I was a train |
| I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo fences |
| Cursed the ganger on the western line |
| Started throwin' punches in a bar at Charters Towers |
| They threw the book at me I did my time |
| Bridge |
| Cause a train don’t weep a train don’t feel |
| Heartache sadness and pain |
| And when I die just let my spirit ride |
| On the boxcar of an ever rollin' train |
| Through the darkest night, every little town looks the same |
| When morning comes you can see the names |
| Through my sleeper window frame |
| I wish i wish i was a train |
