|
From my window shadows of the buildings in the night
|
Run like a river, broken only by city lights
|
Running like a thousand whispered lines
|
Broken only by the ancient railroad ties
|
|
Chorus:
|
Out where the tracks run through the city
|
Tracks run through the city
|
I want to be on that train
|
That'll take me to a place to hide
|
Where tracks run through the city
|
Tracks run through the city
|
Tracks run through the city
|
And I'm longin' to ride, please let me ride
|
|
You know I want to ride that train
|
Everybody wants to find a brand new life somewhere
|
I know it's waiting at the end of the track somewhere out there
|
The end of the rainbow is not meant for me
|
Just got to find some new simplicity
|
|
Chorus
|
|
You know I want to ride that train
|
Let me ride
|
