There's an old black train a comin'
Scraping long the iron
You don't need no ticket boys
It'll take you in its time
O come on now young strangers
Ain't you someone's son?
How'd you find this depot
Cause it ain't where you belong
You will pa** a graveyard
Stones worn by the years
The train will stop a minute
But don't let it be the year
The coachman is my brother
The engineer's my friend
We'll get you more acquainted
By the time we reach the end
This journey is a long one
It'll take you all around
Life rushin' by your window
Before it lays you down
Now where this old trains goin'
You can't come back from
Leave your baggage here
Because we'll need it when you're gone
