This Train Still Runs

I felt a rumble in my heart, over the mountains As the engine ate the spark, spitting out the miles Times when I tried to jump the track Weight of the world upon my back Still after all is said and done – this train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on Nothing is forever young – I'm not done This train still runs I had a friend I left behind, back at the station We used to burn the power lines, racing with the wind But time has the manners of a thief Young love turns bittersweet Still we keep that lantern hung – this train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on No one is forever young – I'm not done This train still runs Got a ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to ride Got a motor rolling over to an easy glide I'm gonna travel on the gravel to the other side Sure as a baby loves the teat Sure as a high heel on concrete Sure as the songs I've left unsung This train still runs This train still runs This train still runs This train still... runs
