Off This Train Songtext
von Entrain

Well I′m driving down a lonely road one dark and stormy night
I was fighting the wheel and it started
To feel like something just ain't right
When up ahead in the distance I saw an approaching light
Coming out of the rain was a speeding
Train and so begins my plight, oh

As that speeding train got closer I tried to look away
I thought if I could just close my eyes well it might just go away
Yeah I jerked real hard upon the wheel then spinning round and round
A pair of hands from that freight car
Well they snatched me up off the ground

Oh mama please I won′t get off this train
Please take me home
Oh mama please I won't get off this train
Please take me home

Well I came to in a boxcar and it was rocking side to side
The moon she stole the darkness then she filled the space with light
As I looked around at the faces that were lurking in the gloom
They smiled and spoke in whispers of my impending doom


Yeah they crowded all around me then they kicked me to the ground
I started to fight but hands held me
Tight and they shoved and pushed me down
They started into singing low then went into a dance
As their shadows twisted on the wall I fell into a trance

Oh mama please I won't get off this train
Please take me home
Oh mama please I won′t get off this train
Please take me home

All at once they screamed out loud and they shut their eyes tight
It broke my trance and I saw my chance and I dove into the night
As I tumbled to the darkness contemplating what went wrong
I heard their tortured voices they were singing out this song

Oh mama please I won′t get off this train
Please take me home
Oh mama please I won't get off this train
Please take me home
Oh mama please I won′t get off this train
Please take me home
Oh mama please I won't get off this train
Please take me home
Take me home
