This train I'm on is right on time In the mornin' I'll be there It's been so long since I held her in my arms I'm goin' back where I belong Where a love will always keep me safe from harm This train I'm on is right on time Now I know I'm on my way I can hear that whistle blow all down the line And as the towns go rollin' by
I can almost smell the wind blow through the pines And they'll all be out to meet me 'Cause there's no place where they treat you quite so fine Well I've been all around and I know there's no place better Sun is gonna shine again in my back door Each time the wheels go 'round I'm closer to the one I've waited for
