Passenger

I am just a passenger

Leaving on a train

Headed for Chicago

To start over again

I thought it would work out this time

But I was surely wrong

The conductors yelling all aboard

It's time to move along

I am just a passenger

Riding on a train

Staring out the window

Hiding from my shame

I fumbled a second chance

This next one is my last

No matter how far you run

You can't escape the past

I left behind a woman

And some good friends too

I filled the city with my regret

Just like I always do

I am just a passenger

Sleeping on the train

Dreaming of a better time

When no one knew my name

I was the talk of the town for a little while

Everything was grand

But from my high horse I did fall

And in trouble did I land

I left behind a woman

And some good friends too

I filled the city with my regret

Just like I always do

I am just a passenger

Departing from a train

Hope this Windy City

Blows something good my way

I've learned a lot from my mistakes

This time it won't be hard

I walk toward possibility

Down Jackson Blvd

I left behind a woman

And some good friends too

I filled the city with my regret

Just like I always do

I left behind my stories

Some tall and then some true

I dwell on all that could've been

Just like I always do

I am just a passenger

Leaving on a train

Headed for Chicago

To start over again
