Train keeps barreling ahead
They say I'd be a dead man to stay
I caught the line off the Old Caroline and I'd
Do it all again
Smoke and ash trail out the back
Leave the cinders of my old life behind
I lean back - pull down my hat
Fall asleep on the uneven track
And it keeps, rollin', rollin', rollin'
Open my eyes on the passenger line
I don't where I'm headed now
Open my mind to the secrets I hide
I don't know if I can find a way out
Boy I wish you could see me now
And you'd know that I did all that I could
And if I end up in no man's land
At least you'll know that I end up good
And far from here
Train keeps barreling ahead
I know you hate it that I left you behind
But when you do what I did
Babe, there ain't no place to hide
Not sure where I'm headed
Or even where I've been
No gun, no misfire
No suspect no sin
And it keeps, rollin', rollin', rollin'
Open my eyes on the passenger line
I don't where I'm headed now
Open my mind to the secrets I hide
I don't know if I can find a way out
Boy I wish you could see me now
And you'd know that I did all that I could
And if I end up in no man's land
At least you'll know that I end up good
And far from here
Don't go chasing me
It doesn't do to live in nightmares
Don't go chasing me
It doesn't do to dwell in dreams
Don't go chasing me
It doesn't do to live in nightmares
Don't go chasing me
It doesn't do to live in dreams
Open my eyes on the passenger line
And I know where I'm headed now
Open my mind to the secrets I hide
Now I know that there's no way out
Boy I wish you could see me now
And you'd know that I did all that I could
And when I end up in no man's land
At least you'll know that I end up good
And far from here
Far from here
Far from here
Far from here
