As the train
Leaves the station
And slowly pulls away
So I leave here
Back through the darkness
From which I came
But don't you cry now
Don't cry mama
Cause I'm not afraid
Cause I can see the light
Off in the distance
And the tracks are already laid

It's been a long hard road
That we've been travellin' on
We shore gonna get there
And it won't be long

Rain clouds above me
They keep on pouring down
I think they understand
They're tryin' to wash
Away the sorrow
So that the sun can shine upon the land
Through all of my life
My fame and my riches
Something's been missing
That I could not find
But this here's a train
A train to glory
Soon I'm gonna have me
Have me peace of mind

It's been a long hard road
That we've been travellin' on
We're shore gonna get there
And it won't be long

As the train
Leaves the station
And slowly pulls away
So I leave here
Back through the darkness
From which I came

It's been a long hard road
That we've been travellin' on
We shore gonna get there
And it won't be long
