I've had my fair share of trouble
Some days the door shut in my face
My tattered life out on the sidewalk
Collect the pieces with a rake
Know that I have not been perfect
There're mistakes I've made a few
Yeah, some people just get lucky
And I'd like to get some too
Feet keep slipping backwards
Looking for a way to get gone
Give me just a minute
While I tried to move along, yeah
There's a freight train racing down the track
Don't know where it's going, but it's not coming back
Hear that whistle blowing
Gonna catch it and get on
Wave of cables moving backwards
Ride the tide of changing times
People waiting for their own little destinations
I think this journey might be mine
Ask a man whose passing me
Just what direction we're being lead
Calls back over his shoulder and says
There's a freight train racing down the track
Don't know where it's going, but it's not coming back
Hear that whistle blowing
Gonna catch it and get on
Oooo

There's a freight train racing down the track
Don't know where it's going, but it's not coming back
Hear that whistle blowing
Gonna catch it
Catch it
And get on
