[JACOB]
This train is bound for anywhere
I'm going there too
Don't care much where we end up
As long as it's new and free
Of everything behind me
The rain's been pounding down on me
Been hard to see
That fog is gone now
And everything's blue
And blue and blue and blue
Why hang your head and cry
There's miles and miles of sky
Choose one
And let it swallow you
That patch of Earth, that person you were
Those people you loved
They're gone, move on
Rise up and above the ground
Not back and not down
But anywhere
They say that home is where your heart is
It's not the place you started
My heart is anywhere but home
These plains, these towns
These fields of amber grain
I'll go insane
Are filled with people leaving
People like me, they know
It's time to go
Anywhere
[CAMEL]
Well, look at this
Where you headed to, kid?
[JACOB, spoken]
Wherever the train takes me
You mind if I come down?
[CAMEL]
Don't really care, sorry to say, 'cause
You gotta find another train
[WADE]
Got no room for bums on this train
[CAMEL]
The whole country's on the run
You think you're the first one to think to bum a ride?
Jump the line
I think you jumped the gun, son
[JACOB, spoken]
Tell you what, we can talk about it after you help me, alright?
[CAMEL]
Believe, I do feel your pain
But you gotta find another train
[JACOB, spoken]
Somebody just give me a hand here, will you?
[ALL]
Don't be expecting any handlin'
We ain't giving you no handouts, son
It don't matter if you're down and out
[CAMEL]
(Ooh)
W ooh ooh ooh oohelcome to the party
(Ooh)
W ooh ooh ooh oohe all got a sob story
(Ooh)
B ooh ooh ooh oohut you can sob your story that way
'Cause you gotta find another train
[JACOB, spoken]
OK, OK...
[WALTER]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We've all been there before
Some more than others
Running from your troubles
Well there ain't no easy way
[CAMEL, spoken]
Next station, you best skedaddle, we'll be in Utica by sunup
[WADE, spoken]
But we don't got room for strays
[Chorus]
You gotta find another train
[WADE]
Better yet, I think we red-light the bum
[Chorus]
You gotta find another train
[JACOB]
Back off, mister!
I'm not here for your amusement
Keep pushing me
And I don't know what I might do
I'm not looking for a job
But I work a day for food
Just a day and I'll be gone
I've got nothing left to lose
[CAMEL, spoken]
You didn't jump just any old train, son
This here's the Benzini Brothers' Most Spectacular Show on Earth
Welcome to the circus!
[JACOB] (CAMEL)
This train is bound for everywhere
(Alright folks, on with the show)
Don't care much where we end up
(Get ready to haul out)
I'm free (
( A free pair of hand)
Of everything, behind me
(Our little circus, serendipity)
Don't stop to think or feel
(Next stop, Utica)
Focus on what is real
(I hear it's beautiful this time of year)
Unreal as it may seem to be
(With fields of suckers)
As fa
[ALL]r as the eye can see
[JACOB]
That patch of Earth, those people you loved
They're gone, move on
[Chorus]
Move on
[JACOB]
Rise up and above the ground
(Whole country's on the run)
(Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
You'll find what you found
(Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
I hear it's beautiful this time of year
(Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
[JACOB] (CHORUS)
Anywhere!
(This train is bound for anywhere)
[CAMEL] (CHORUS)
Gotta find another train
(This train is bound for anywhere)
[JACOB]
Anywhere!
[CAMEL] (CHORUS)
Gotta find another train
(This train is bound for anywhere)
[JACOB]
Anywhere!
[CAMEL] (CHORUS)
Gotta find another
(This train is bound for)
[JACOB]
Anywhere!
