Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And it feels right this time
On his crash course with the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
New day fills his head with wonder, boy
[Verse 2]
Says it feels right this time
Turned it 'round and found the right line
"Good day to be alive, sir"
"Good day to be alive," he says
[Verse 3]
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way, yeah
[Verse 4]
Don't it feel right like this?
All the pieces fall to his wish
"Sucker for that quick reward, boy"
"Sucker for that quick reward," they say
[Verse 5]
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way, yeah
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way, yeah
It's coming your way
It's coming your way, oh yeah
Here it comes
[Verse 6]
Yeah, then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way, yeah
[Verse 7]
Then it comes to be, hey yeah
Then it comes to be, hey yeah
Then it comes to be, hey yeah
Then it comes to be, yeah
Oh it comes to be, hey yeah
Oh it comes to be, yeah
Then it comes to be, hey yeah
Then it comes to be, yeah
