Every day, nothing seems to change

Everywhere I go, I keep seeing the same old thing

And I, I can't take it no more

I would leave this town but I, I ain't got no where else to go, no

Wake up in the morning to more, more bad news

And I, sometimes I feel like I was born to lose

And I, it's driving me out of my mind

Gonna catch the next train, and I'll move on down the line, yeah

Well, I'll be ready now

I'll be ready when my train pulls in

Well, I'll be ready now

I'll be ready when my train pulls in

I know my time ain't long and I

I can't live this life again

No, no, no

Walking down the streets, you might run across a smilng face

But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn and walk away

And I, oh Lord, it's bringing me down

If things don't change around here

Ain't no use in me hanging 'round

Hangin' 'round, now

Well, I'll be ready now

I'll be ready when my train pulls in

Oh, I'll be ready now

Oh, I'll be ready when my train pulls in, yeah

I know my time ain't long around here and I

I can't live this life again

No, no, no, no
