I heard that whistle when I heard you speak Felt that rumble underneath my feet I knew I bought myself a first cla** seat On the blue train I knew you'd break me down and leave me flat I saw it coming but I turned my back I feel like a nickel on the railroad track Here comes the blue train Blue train, blue train Broken hearts ride free On the blue train, blue train Coming for to carry me It's not the first time I've been down this line
I've done some traveling with this heart of mine Seems to be a longer ride each time On the blue train When I get home I'm gonna lock my heart Try to tear away the wounded part I'm gonna get myself a good head start And outrun the blue train Blue train, blue train Broken hearts ride free On the blue train, blue train Coming for to carry me Blue train, blue train Coming for to carry me On the blue train
