Take a Train Songtext
von Doug Clifford

Take a train, take a train, leave a whistle stop behind
Take a train, leave the whistle stop behind

Well, I told myself so many times and I told myself today
That I′d just think of someone else and forget about the train
I lay in bed at half past twelve and I heard the whistle blow
Afraid to take a chance, my friend, afraid I'll miss the show

I′m sittin' drinkin' rum and coke at the only bar in town
I got into a fight about nothing worth my time
I saw my face in the painted glass and I asked the question why
I don′t know what lies ahead but I′m ridin' down the line


Take a train, take a train, leave a whistle stop behind
Take a train, leave the whistle stop behind

Walked the streets of Dallas town and three days passed me by
I played some cards and lost my shoes while suckers swum like flies
I thought about that whistle stop population sixty-five
I hopped a freight and headed home just to lead a simple life

Take a train, take a train, leave a whistle stop behind
Take a train, leave the whistle stop behind
Take a train, leave the whistle stop behind
Take a train, leave the whistle stop behind
Take a train, leave the whistle stop behind
