I've been riding this train a long time And I'm still trying to unwind All my rowdy friends have settled down I'm out on the road just looking around For that engineer of love to set me free 'Cause I'm locked up in this world of misery And we ride on the honky tonk train every night life in the fast lane There's a woman on the dance floor she's messing with my brain Well here goes my heart pour on the cold honky tonk train Everybody's got problems that's no lie Everybody's got somebody on their mind They wanna get on board and just leave their problems behind
And their engines are burning hard for honky tonk wine So I take my guitar and make that little string moan And they're moving on down the line like Casey Jones Yeah we ride on the honky tonk train every night life in the fast lane... Yeah we ride on the honky tonk train every night life in the fast lane... Can I ever get off this honky tonk train Every night I'm living a hard driving fast lane Hard driving fast land riding the honky tonk train Riding the honky tonk train
