This Train Ain't Bound For Nowhere

The engineer moved slowly
as he talked among his dials
turning this and tapping that
a thousand different trials
now I can't say that I understood
but every word he said
had the sound of something ringing true
while rolling through my head

"CHORUS"

This train ain't bound for nowhere
ain't just riding round the bend
and I'm not sure where it's going
but I sure where know I've been

The conductor started walking
with his arms behind his back
very sure his hands were pure
white collar still intact his stated inspiration
was a studied ticket please
but if you needed company
he'd set your mind at ease

"CHORUS"

This train ain't bound for nowhere
ain't just riding round the bend
and I'm not sure where it's going
but I sure where know I've been

So choose the road you travel on
with care before you go
when trouble lies around the bend
they'll always let you know
now I can't say that I understood
but every word they said
had the sound of something ringing true
while rolling through my head

"CHORUS"

This train ain't bound for nowhere
ain't just riding round the bend
and I'm not sure where it's going
but I sure where know I've been

This train ain't bound for nowhere
