This Train Still RunsI felt a rumble in my heart, over the mountainsAs the engine ate the spark, spitting out the miles Times when I tried to jump the track Weight of the world upon my back Still after all is said and done This train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on Nothing is forever young I'm not done - his train still runs I had a friend I left behind, back at the station We used to burn the power lines, racing with the wind But time has the manners of a thief Young love turns bittersweet Still we keep that lantern hung - this train still runs This train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on No one is forever young I'm not done this train still runs Got a ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to ride Got a motor rolling over to an easy glide I'm gonna travel on the gravel to the other side Sure as a baby loves the teat Sure as a high heel on concrete Sure as the songs I've left unsung This train still runs This train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on Nothing is forever young I'm not done - this train still runs This train still runs This train still runs |
