Eclectic Songwriters Society - Riding on a Train Lyrics

Eighteen and my family can't feel my pain
Eighteen and I'm leaving on the next train
We always hang out at the train yard
Wasting our youth 'cause our lives are so hard
'Cause I'm riding on a train
I'm chugging on a train
I'm riding on a train
I'm chugging on a train
Going nowhere fast
Away from my past
We're all trapped in this rundown town
Paints all-a-peeling with silence all-around
Somethings going up on the trestle track
Somehow I don't think I could ever go back
'Cause I'm riding on a train
I'm chugging on a train
I'm riding on a train
I'm chugging on a train
Going nowhere fast
Away from my past
The church steeple used to show us the way
It's now quiet and gray with decay
Steams pouring back along the railroad track
The steams like me, it's never going back
'Cause I'm riding on a train
I'm chugging on a train
I'm riding on a train
I'm chugging on a train
Going nowhere fast
Away from my past
I'm riding on a train
I'm chugging on a train
I'm riding on a train
And I'm... never going ba... ack
