lyrics

There is a train
That departs in the dead of night
You can pack up your pain
And be gone by the morning light
The cabin's haunted
Bitter ghosts wander the rows
They're souls unwanted
Haven't you always been one of those

So come on and take a ride
Take the tracks all the way down
If you're empty inside
There is a train headed out of town

There is a train
That leaves and never returns
The idea sounds insane
But so are all the other passengers
The conductor's laugh is sweet
It's just begging you to climb aboard
Settle into your seat
Don't worry what you're headed toward

And the engine's spitting steam
And the wheels roar over the ground
Like a creature out of a dream
There is a train headed out of town

There is a train
From the earth to somewhere else
Beyond the mortal plane
Could be heaven, could be hell
Could be nothing at all
But wouldn't that be a relief
It's worth the gamble
And at least the ride is brief

And when that whistle blows
Only the lonely hear the sound
Some of your heroes
Took the train headed out of town

And people might not say so
But they know it comes around
If you're ready to go
There is a train headed out of town
