Ain't singing 'bout the seasons Or the cold November rain Ain't about to let you back 'cause you'll only leave again I don't hear nothing but the sound of your name What I need is a song about a train I hear it late at night Come rolling through the trees Bearing down on my insides Every time I hit my knees Sweet Lord above won't you help me please Take me back where it's best to believe
I laid my penny on the track So take me now and don't look back What I need is a song about a train Like my daddy before me I've a need to rest my bones So I'll head down to the river And feel I'm going home Those tracks go on forever people say But I'm gonna jump that last car someday I laid my penny on the track So take me now and don't look back What I need is a song about a train
