I am on my way on a train
Steaming along in the rain
From the life I lived before.

I have a tear in my eye
Sometimes it's easy to cry
Though I'm not a child anymore.


Can't stop the train from a rollin
Or make the wheels turn slow

You know I had to go.
Can't stop the train from a rollin
And neither snow or rain

Can get me back again.

I am on the run from my home

Somehow I'll make it alone
If I'm strong enough today.
You know I had to go along, oh

Pray for me while I am all gone
Think of me sometime anyway.


Can't stop the train from a rollin
Or make the wheels turn slow
You know I had to go.

Can't stop the train from a rollin
And neither snow or rain
Can get me back again.
