I boarded that mystery train long ago
I tried to get you to come with me but you didn't want to go
You said it wasn't for you
But I can't stay with the way they're treating me
I told them yesterday that I was done
Wasn't gonna be their God forsaken son
I gotta go
I'm leaving town, baby, come with me
I'm gonna set the world on fire with this Rock n Roll beat
My momma told me "Son, please be strong!
If you're gonna leave town, baby, don't do no wrong!"
But I'm not that way
And I can't stop the sound of that train
That train has been calling
Setting my heart a blaze
I'm gonna set the world on fire with this Rock n Roll beat!
