Robert Ellis - Westbound Train lyrics

The road was dark and long And you heard a hopeful song Playing louder than any one you'd heard before Oh I know that song She used to sing to me all night long And when the music stopped by morning I was gone Now those songs escape my ear But to you they're ringing clear Oh that westbound train already pa**ed me by And I know just why you'd want to hitch a ride oh Other trains'll be coming through And I'm-a gonna catch one too Yeah we do what we have to do And who'm I to say What you do along your way? You said yourself this is a game you know how to play It ain't right, it ain't wrong But there's no sorrow in this song I knew it wouldn't be too long 'fore she moved on And I've moved on too I ain't got nothing but love for you Oh that westbound train already pa**ed me by And I know just why you'd want to hitch a ride oh Other trains'll be coming through And I'm-a gonna catch one too Yeah we do what we have to do The Great Rearranger's changing everything again Thought you stranger when I knew you way back when We are older now and there's no need to pretend That anything we have in life means more than friends Oh that westbound train already pa**ed me by And I know just why you'd want to hitch a ride oh Other trains'll be coming through And I'm-a gonna catch one too Yeah we do what we have to do
