| I’m on the lame train
|
| I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
|
| Where it takes me I don’t know
|
| I guess the tracks you make are your own
|
| Well it’s 5 o’clock in the morning And I can’t fall asleep again
|
| Times are changing and moving fast Way too fast for me
|
| Seems like only yesterday I was skipping school and stealing gasoline
|
| I’ve been talking I guess you call it Talking a white lie
|
| One minute I’m on top of the world And the next thing you know
|
| Sometimes I just sit and daydream And I just slip away from here
|
| If only I had a crystal ball Or could invent a time machine
|
| I’d go into the future Take a good look around
|
| And see what life has in store for me
|
| I’ve been walking I guess you call it Walking a thin line
|
| One minute I’m on top of the world And the next thing you know
|
| I’m on the lame train
|
| I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
|
| Where it takes me I don’t know
|
| I guess the track
|
| S you make are your own
|
| It’s like achain gang going I know the exit
|
| But my problems seem to follow me
|
| Wherever I go Nonstop to nowhere
|
| I don’t believe the preachers They’re just sticking out their hands
|
| I don’t believe the government And who the hell’s this Uncle Sam?
|
| Mr. Conductor Will you help me off this train?
|
| Well I believe I’m on the wrong one and it’s taking me down the drain
