Ride This Train Lyrics by Mel McDaniel

Now You’re Talkin’

0

[Verse 1]
Down at the depot
Sun's finally sinking low
Waiting on the 7:15
End of an heir line
Gonna leave it all behind
Right into a brand new scene
Tired of being chained here
Time for me to disappear
Listen to the whistle scream
Heading for the last coast
That's the place I miss the most
Casey, can't you lay on the steam?

[Pre Chorus]
My ticket didn't cost me nothing
Somebody gave it to me for free
'Bout to be long gone
I don't wanna go long
You can ride this train with me

[Chorus]
Come on and ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on now
Ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train with me

[Verse 2]
Gotta get make my last date
Hope my train ain't running late
Gotta keep my schedule clean
Sounds a little funny
It don't mean any money
You can wear a pair of old blue jeans
Friends with no relations
They'll be at the station
Waiting by the record machine
Can't wait 'til I get there
Music playing everywhere
Dancing like you've never seen

[Pre Chorus]
My ticket didn't cost me nothing
Somebody gave it to me for free
'Bout to be long gone
I don't wanna go long
You can ride this train with me

[Chorus]
Come on now, ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on now, ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train with me

[Outro]
Come on y'all, ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on now, ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train with me

Come on and ride this train
Ride this train
Ride this train
