This Train Still Runs |
| I felt a rumble in my heart, over the mountains |
| As the engine ate the spark, spitting out the miles |
| Times when I tried to jump the track |
| Weight of the world upon my back |
| Still after all is said and done |
| This train still runs |
| It doesn’t matter where it’s gone |
| This train still runs |
| And though the baggage weighs a ton |
| We carry on |
| Nothing is forever young |
| I’m not done — his train still runs |
| I had a friend I left behind, back at the station |
| We used to burn the power lines, racing with the wind |
| But time has the manners of a thief |
| Young love turns bittersweet |
| Still we keep that lantern hung — this train still runs |
| This train still runs |
| It doesn’t matter where it’s gone |
| This train still runs |
| And though the baggage weighs a ton |
| We carry on |
| No one is forever young |
| I’m not done this train still runs |
| Got a ticket in my pocket and I’m ready to ride |
| Got a motor rolling over to an easy glide |
| I’m gonna travel on the gravel to the other side |
| Sure as a baby loves the teat |
| Sure as a high heel on concrete |
| Sure as the songs I’ve left unsung |
| This train still runs |
| This train still runs |
| It doesn’t matter where it’s gone |
| This train still runs |
| And though the baggage weighs a ton |
| We carry on |
| Nothing is forever young |
| I’m not done — this train still runs |
| This train still runs |
| This train still runs |
