Nonstop To Nowhere

I'm on the lame train I got a first class ticket On the nonstop to nowhere Where it takes me I don't know I guess the tracks you lay are your own Well, it's five o'clock in the morning And I can't fall asleep again Times are changing and moving fast Way too fast for me Seems like only yesterday I was skipping school and stealing gasoline I've been talking I guess you call it talking a white lie One minute I'm on top of the world And the next thing you know I'm on the lame train I got a first class ticket On the nonstop to nowhere Where it takes me I don't know I guess the tracks you lay are your own Sometimes I just and daydream And I just slip away from here If only I had a crystal ball Or could invent a time machine I'd go into the future, take a good look around And see what life has in store for me I've been walking I guess you call it walking a thin line One minute I'm on top of the world And the next thing you know I'm on the lame train I got a first class ticket On the nonstop to nowhere Where it takes me I don't know I guess the tracks you lay are your own It's like a chain gang I know the exit but my problems Seem to follow me wherever I go Nonstop to nowhere I don't believe the preachers They're just sticking out their hands I don't believe the government And who is this Uncle Sam Mr. Conductor will you help me off this train Well, I believe I'm on the wrong one And it's taking me down the drain
