Lyrics
I'm a train without an engine
Just sittin on these tracks
I'm a train without an engine
Not goin nowhere
Not comin back
Don't haul no coal
Lost my caboose
Don't need no engineer
I'm a train without an engine
And I'm just sittin here
It used to be I'd be rollin every day
From Tennessee to Californiay
I had a motor you couldn't stop
In a little engine that
Made it to the top
Baby if you could see the things that I have seen
Don't paint my cars
Don't grease my wheels
Or buff my veneer
I'm a train without an engine
Happy sittin here
In my world things don't disappear
So much for change
And all my friends are here
I'm beyond greener pastures
I'm the servant and the Master
Of My domain
I was
A train wreck
Waiting
To happen
But
Still now
Somehow
There but for the grace of God
Go I
I'm a train without an engine
I'm all about getting old
I'm a train without an engine
Don't pull no drags Don't push no pull(ers)
For the first time in all my miles
I finally have no fear
I'm a train without an engine
And I'm just sttin here
Happy sittin here
Happy just being here
