Old Train lyrics

Old Train, I can hear your whistle blow

And I won't be jumping on again

Old Train, I've been everywhere you go

And I know what lies beyond each bend

Old Train, each time you pass

You're older than the last

And it seems I'm too old for runnin'

I hear your rusty wheels grate against the rails

They cry with every mile

And I think I'll stay awhile

Old Train, I grow weary at the miles

And I miss the freedom that was mine

Old Train, just to think about those times

I'll smile when you're highballing by

Old Train, each time you pass

You're older than the last

And it seems I'm too old for runnin'

I hear your rusty wheels grate against the rails

They cry with every mile

And I think I'll stay awhile
