lyrics

★ TAKIN' THE TRAIN ★

ROADS ARE ALL CLOGGED CLOGGED WITH CARS
THERE'S TOO MANY TOO MANY BY FAR
I'M LEAVIN' TOWN WANNA GET WHERE I'M GOIN'
AIN'T NO SLOWIN' ME DOWN

LEAVIN' TOWN WANNA GET THERE ON TIME
AIN'T HANGIN' AROUND SO I'M

TAKIN' THE TRAIN TO MY NEXT LOCATION
TAKIN' THE TRAIN TO A NEW DESTINATION
TRAVELIN' LIGHT MAKIN' FOR THE STATION
TAKIN' THE TRAIN YEAH I'M TAKIN' THE TRAIN

STREETS LOOK MORE LIKE A PARKIN' LOT
THERE'S NO SWORD FOR THIS GORDIAN KNOT
I'M LEAVIN' TOWN WANNA GET WHERE I'M GOIN'
AIN'T NO SLOWIN' ME DOWN

LEAVIN' TOWN WANNA GET THERE ON TIME
AIN'T WAITIN' AROUND SO I'M

TAKIN' THE TRAIN TO MY NEXT LOCATION
TAKIN' THE TRAIN TO A NEW DESTINATION
TRAVELIN' LIGHT HEADIN' FOR THE STATION
TAKIN' THE TRAIN YEAH I'M TAKIN' THE TRAIN

LIKE A HOT CUP OF COFFEE ON A COLD COLD MORNIN'
OR A COLD COLD BEER ON A HOT SUMMER'S DAY
IT'S A NEW LEASE ON LIFE DOWN THE LINE
LEAVIN' NOTHIN' BEHIND I'M ON MY WAY

I'M TAKIN' THE TRAIN TO MY NEXT LOCATION
TAKIN' THE TRAIN TO A NEW DESTINATION
TRAVELIN' LIGHT MAKIN' FOR THE STATION
TAKIN' THE TRAIN TO MY NEXT LOCATION
YEAH I'M TAKIN' THE TRAIN TO A NEW DESTINATION
TRAVELIN' LIGHT HEADIN' FOR THE STATION
TAKIN' THE TRAIN YEAH I'M TAKIN' THE TRAIN
TAKIN' THE TRAIN I'M TAKIN' THE TRAIN

TAKIN' THE TRAIN YEAH I'M TAKIN' THE TRAIN
TAKIN' THE TRAIN I'M TAKIN' THE TRAIN
