This Train

I was young when I met you

Now I'm going home

But I know you won't really miss me when I'm gone

That's why I have to leave, leave before tomorrow

It'll take me as far as the Sullivan County dawn

And I'm taking back my life on borrowed time

And that train keeps on moving down the line

Oh, this train's moving down the line

Ah, you never lied, but you wasted my time

So I'll uproot, plant new seeds

Take back this love you didn't need

Hey, this train's gonna keep on moving

Your smile is something to behold

Your lips as sweet as gold

But my eyes, they sour each time I see you

Down on a riverside, oh, how I used to pine

But I cry a little bit less than I used to

And I die a little bit less every time

Oh, when that train keeps on moving down the line

Oh, this train's moving down the line

Ah, you never lied, but you wasted my time

So I'll uproot, plant new seeds

Take back that love you didn't need

Hey, this train's gonna keep on moving

Oh, this train's moving down the line

Ah, you danced with the devil, and you played with my mind

So I'll move to a town where I can find me

A good, loving man who's worth my time

Hey, hey, hey, this train
