Well the sun's coming up, and the dust it is clearing
Down the line I am hearing there's a train coming in
I left my home and my girl, tried to find someplace better
oh but I never could forget her, so let this train take me home

CHORUS:
Oh please my darling forgive what I've done
I've found nothing, just some big lonely world
So take me back please my lover, take me back please my lover
Took a train to discover I cannot be without you girl

I was young, I was green
Prone to foolish decisions
At what I thought was ambition and a will to be free

yeah but freedom's just some word
Don't believe has a meaning
So on this train I am leaving trying to get me back home

CHORUS

So pour another cup of coffee
Pretty soon I'll be leaving
I ain't done petty thieving
Hitching rides and drinking beer

And I'm so tired of having friends
Just to keep out of prison
Oh well this life really isn't all I hoped it would be

CHORUS

Took a train to discover I cannot a be without you girl
