Text: Steve Wariner. I Wish I Were a Train.

Lyin' awake at night
Thinkin' about my life
Train rumblin' through our town
Walls shake like they're coming down

You sleep like nothing's wrong
You don't know tomorrow I'm gone
You don't hear the whistles sad cry
You don't see the tears in my eyes

I wish I were a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime, move ahead or go back
But I can't go back and face the pain
So I lie here and wish I were a train

Baby, once we had it all
This ain't nobodys fault
Seems like everything changed
Love just up and moved away

On a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime, move ahead or go back
But I can't go back and face the pain
So I lie here and wish I were a train

I wish I were a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime, move ahead or go back
But I can't go back and face the pain
So I lie here and wish I were a train
