I hear the sound of a freight train rollin through my dreams It's full of yesterday's baggage and chasing after me No matter where i turn i can smell that engine burn I keep a runnin from that freight train trying to escape my past But the smoke clouds up my future and the freedom doesn't last Somebody tell me how i can turn this thing around Cause there's a chain around my neck and the weight of this worlds on my back Memories and regrets that set my mind off track So many things i need to unload to give myself some peace Cause i know if i don't that train's gonna roll all over me I've been stuck at this station in atlanta praying that the phone will ring Staring at the stranger in the mirror. i miss the man he used to be I can't even count the mistakes that brought me to this place I've got to get my feet back on the ground I can't let my burdens drag me down
